Orange Jewelweed

These were flowering beside the Reedy Creek greenway.  They were so bright that I thought it was some kind of berry.  Its other name is the touch-me-not-plant.  But I'm not sure why, supposedly it is a natural cure for poison ivy.  You can even buy lotions containing it's juice on Amazon.,,!

Sacred Seven

This is an art installment on the Reedy Creek Greenway near the North Carolina Museum of Art.  It is by Matthew Curran.  It is part of their "Art has no boundaries" series.  I have no clue what it signifies, although it is a little shocking to come upon it on a beautiful greenway.
