Savoring The Moment ...

“If you are not filled with overflowing love, compassion and goodwill for all creatures living wild in nature, you will never know true happiness.”

My favorite white-tailed deer doe savors an apple in the spring snow on an early April evening in the park in this selective color shot.

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.

Blues Singer ...

“The moment a little boy is concerned with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing.”

           ~ Eric Berne

             ~1910 – 1970

        ~American psychiatrist & writer, best known as the creator of Transactional analysis, and as the author of “Games People Play: the Psychology of Human Relations” published in 1964

A beautiful blue jay – sometimes called a jaybird – sings while perched on a tree branch on a gorgeous May afternoon at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Silver White Winters ...

“…Silver-white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favorite things …”

                   ~ “My Favorite Things”

                       ~from the 1959
       Rodgers & Hammerstein musical 
               “The Sound Of Music”  

The snowy creek shimmers with silvery beauty after a late winter snowfall on an early March evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania in this infrared image.

This beauty will eventually melt into spring, but for now the silver-white winter lingers to paint a  quiet, majestic beauty.
