Junior Has Arrived On July 7th, I posted a doe White-tailed Deer capture and queried “Where’s Junior”? Junior has arrived. Actually, two of them showed up, but I was only able to bag one of the spotted ‘little stinkers’. ~ Anecdote and White-tailed Deer capture, Junior Has Arrived © Jerry L. Ferrara

Through The Lea It was very late on a clammy afternoon. The coolness was finally replacing the humid heat from earlier hours and ‘creature activity’ was erupting in the meadow. A White-tailed Deer fawn found it to its liking to expend some pent-up energy as it scampered, bounded and streaked through the lea. ~ Anecdote and White-tailed Deer capture, Through The Lea © Jerry L.

Crossing The River of Fire The setting was ablaze with the stain of autumn and in the still of a vividly-hued morn a White-tailed Deer doe herd magically materialized on the marge of a muted, meandering waterway. Their appearance was steeped in ghostly silence as they pregnantly paused streamside. Intrepidly, the deer stepped into the richly-tinged flow. In their march through the moist medium they appeared to be Crossing The River of Fire. ~ Anecdote and White-tailed Deer capture, Crossing The River of Fire © Jerry L. Ferrara
The Monarch’s Crown It may seem strange as day lengths changenot subtle the effectFor as light wanes it’s very plainresults are quite directFirst it begins with just the skina velvet dressing gownRub and scrape that mantled drapereveals the monarch’s crown ~ Poem and White-tailed Deer capture, The Monarch’s Crown © Jerry L.

Posing Perfectly There’s a seemingly never-ending show occurring at our home. It’s in full view from our porch. Though appearing perpetual, there are moments of intermission in the performance … yet it continues both day and night. The actors and actresses are of mixed backgrounds, but all deliver their roles quite artfully. ~ Anecdote and White-tailed Deer doe capture, Posing Perfectly © Jerry L. Ferrara

Blowing Raspberries There was no derision or disrespect intended by this alert White-tailed Deer doe as she was caught with her tongue ‘snaking’ out of her mouth, looking like she was blowing raspberries. The nervous posture didn’t last long, though, as she and her herd members continued their search for snow-covered apples. ~ Anecdote and White-tailed Deer capture, Blowing Raspberries © Jerry L.
