Baby Face ...

 “Baby face,

 you’ve got the cutest little baby face …”

           ~ “Baby Face”

            ~ popular Tin Pan Alley jazz song

        ~music by Harry Akst, lyrics by Benny Davis

                  ~ 1926

     ~ The first recording was by Jan Garber and his Orchestra, featuring lyricist Benny Davis singing the chorus only. The record was a number one hit in 1926.

      ~ The wonderful Bobby Darin, Bing Crosby, Mitch Miller & Little Richard are among the many artists who have recorded the song.

 

 A precious white-tailed deer fawn – approximately one to three weeks old and a honey of a summer sight – has the cutest little baby face!

 I spotted this sweetie nestled in the grass under July’s evening sun at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, while its mama doe and other deer grazed nearby.

The Fawn In August ...

 “… I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief …

For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

I came into the peace of wild things when I spotted this honey of a summer sight ~ a sweet, beautiful white-tailed deer fawn ~ posing on the banks of the Saucon Creek, with its mama doe nearby, on a gorgeous early August evening along the Saucon Rail Trail in the Saucon Valley, Hellertown, Pennsylvania.

I spotted the sweetest sight of summer – a beautiful white-tailed deer fawn – in the late afternoon of a sunlit mid-July day as summer shines its beauty throughout Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
