may day march

the first of may just happened to be our farmer's market saturday, along with the may day march protesting the recent arizona immigration law that had just passed. so, sam and i thought it would be fun to bring our cameras along and get some pictures. it actually turned out to be pretty cool. i felt like a photojournalist, and people wanted me to take their pictures, and made way for me through the crowds. haha, it made me feel like some vip. ;) the protest at the capitol building in madison, wisconsin. dane county actually issued a statement opposing the new az legislation. we also took some time to enjoy the beautiful flowers at the square. the march began several blocks away from the state capitol. the march was peaceful and i captured some singers in the group. the beautiful capitol building. saturdays are usually pretty crowded with the farmer's market, and today was no exception with the march going on. the police officer and his dog. it always makes me nervous when isaiah asks to pet other people's dogs. daddy and the kids, hanging out and taking pics. we actually didn't stay very long at the protest. we took some pictures, and after a bit, we did our walk around the square finding goodies to buy and eat. we love going to the capitol on saturdays, there's always so many interesting people, never a dull moment. mmm, popcorn and smoothies.
