My husband and I took our morning walk in the cemetery today. I should have known something was up when he threw the white sheet into the car. These are the kind of things I get roped into being married to a photographer.

Susan Komen Race For The Cure
Last Saturday I was privileged to participate in the Susan Komen Race For The Cure in Little Rock with my sister-in-law Gloria. Gloria is a 30 year survivor of breast cancer. This race is HUGE in Little Rock. It's a 5K that takes a couple of hours due to the crowd of thousands of women and children that take part. The following is a very small sampling of the pictures I took. There was every kind of pink costume imaginable, music on every corner, men honoring the women as we passed, and best of all.........so many smiles and happiness everywhere! My husband said it was very emotional for him to watch as women crossed the finish line because they were all extremely happy, smiling, waving, and the positive energy flow was staggering!
