Dancing In The Field ...

“In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.”

                   ~ Aristotle

I spotted my favorite white-tailed button buck, who I call Buttons, seemingly doing a little dance in the field in the waning days of summer. He and his twin sister and mama doe were enjoying a mid-September evening as sunset loomed in the park.

I photographed Buttons since he was a precious fawn, then a sweet button buck and then a beautiful yearling until he migrated away in January 2020. Along the way I tossed him many apples, which he loved eating. His twin sister was always a bit more shy about posing for the camera.

It’s a true joy and blessing to me personally and as a photographer to have watched these sweet fawns grow.

The Whitetails ...

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”

                   ~ Vincent van Gogh

It’s always the sweetest sight of summer to see a white-tailed fawn, and to see two together is twice the joy!

I captured this high contrast monochrome shot of brother and sister twin white-spotted fawns with their mama doe on a gorgeous early September evening in the waning summer as sunset loomed at the park.

One of the fawns I call Buttons, as I photographed him since he was a precious fawn, then a sweet button buck and then a beautiful yearling until he migrated away in January 2020. Along the way I tossed him many apples, which he loved eating. His twin sister is with him in this image, though she was always a bit more shy about posing for the camera.

It’s a true joy and blessing to me personally and as a photographer to have watched these sweet fawns grow.
