Dr. Amanda Hess delivers baby in distress, then has her own 2017-07-27 - Frankfort, KY - Photo from Family Medical Center. Baby Ellen (and her big sister Kate) will have fun hearing the story of their hero Mom, Dr. Amanda Hess, when they grow up.

Maybe though it is fencerows like this one, changing to delightful silhouettes either in time, or because of herbicide assaults. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
