Bloom of the Laurel...

I had the pleasure of spending some time with my friend Heather on Saturday.  She grew up in rural Montoursville and let me tell you, it made for a wonderful backdrop for our photos!  Our goal was to capture the beauty not only of her baby bump but also the beauty of the mountain laurel since its window for blooming was coming to an end.  Funny thing - I grew up in Wellsboro, home of the "Laurel Festival", and I really have no recollection of seeing much laurel!

Very soon now, this basket will hold a baby instead of mountain laurel and the father's baby shoes!  ;-)
