This is a 'jump' picture of my nieces during our family vacation in Virginia Beach. My family (parents, siblings, spouses and kids) get together annually. Pictured from L to R are:
Zari Wilson, Alex Miller, Sydney Stephens, and Samiiah Wilson.

More than 250 creative pictures and compelling stories were submitted for Duke's second annual "My Health. My Life." photo contest. The entries were funny,
artistic, and often inspiring. We hope that these photos, and the ones in Duke's Open Enrollment materials, will inspire you to live healthier in the coming year.
Thanks to all who entered the contest, and special thanks to Chris Hildreth, director of Duke University Photography, for choosing our grand prize winner: Joni Harris of the Capital Budget Office.
"Of all the entries, this photograph literally 'jumped out' to me," said Hildreth. "I love the four subjects suspended in midair each with their own unique
pose, but as a group, evoking a sense of harmony, family, and togetherness.
"Overall the image captures the spirit and excitement experienced on a beautiful sunny day at the beach and how that environment can make us all feel like kids again."
Joni Harris had this to say about why her health matters to her:
"With a family history of high blood pressure and diabetes and the recent death of a friend to cancer, I decided to no longer take my health for granted. I exercise routinely and
have lost ten pounds. I want to do all I can to live a long, healthy life."
