Weekly Photo Challenge: Hope


Hope (noun) A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.

I took this photograph three days before Jack was born.  He’ll be five in March.  With gracious permission from my DIL to post this photograph of her expecting.  One time I showed photographs of her first pregnancy in a Black and White film class I took at Filmmakers and the teacher chided me for showing such a private image. They were quite beautiful. I thought the image embodied the first definition of hope.
