Thanks to everyone who responded. Regarding the dual pregnant women, I 
did indeed suggest such a picture, and offered to take it with the 
photographer's camera as well as mine.  Mom-to-be from the couple seemed 
willing, her man was laughing heartily, but the photographer said no, 
with a smile. I didn't feel right pushing it farther. So this is "the 
one that got away."

I sez:
 >> I have to share one more thing. The pictured spot is a favorite 
backdrop for wedding and engagement photos. Just before we left, a young 
couple and their equally young female photographer arrived for a shoot. 
As we watched them, we realized that this was neither of the above. It 
was a "we're having a baby" shoot. The mother-to-be was all decked out 
in a full-length green velvet gown. The father-to-be was a burly, 
bearded, "Real Northwest Man" kind of guy wearing shorts and a black 
T-shirt. Further observation determined that the photographer was as 
pregnant as her subject. I have no pictures of this potential 
parallelism of baby bumps, as I'm a nice guy, not a predatory paparazzo. 
I will say that everyone present had a good laugh over the situation.

So Moose sez:
 >>I'd have offered to take pix of the three of them, maybe even an 
action shot of one photoing two, with their camera, in exchange for a 
couple with my camera. Usually works.

 >> Get the Shot Moose
