Doe Of A Midsummer Night ...

“If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save what they love.”

 My favorite white-tailed deer doe pauses from grazing as she watches me walk up the hill to give her an apple – or two! – on a beautiful July evening in the park.

I’ve been blessed to photograph this doe and her fawns since 2012, and it’s a true joy to me personally and as a photographer.

In The Mist Of A Summer Evening ...

“Why is summer mist romantic and autumn mist just sad?”

                 ~ from “I Capture the Castle”

                            ~ published 1948

Evoking a beguiling sense of mystery, the mist rises over the creek on a warm summer evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Still Gold ...

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”

It’s still gold as the peaceful beauty of an early November afternoon paints itself in a reflection in the Lehigh Canal along the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail), Weissport, Pennsylvania, where the trail is positioned between the Lehigh River and Lehigh Canal.

Running from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and Delware Rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
