Taking off

Mr. Heron was not happy with a group of school kids on a field trip disturbing his quiet lake.  He wisely took off.

 

Waiting

This little lady stands near the Contemporary Art Museum.  Who is she waiting for?

 

Skip to Christmas

 

Costco seems to have skipped Halloween and Thanksgiving and gone straight to Christmas.  Isn't October a bit early?

North Carolina Pig

If North Carolina had a state animal, it would be the pig.  There are pigs on display in most restaurants.  This one, with the North Carolina flag on him, sits outside a barbeque place.

 

Rainbow Head

This "rainbow head"  sits at one entrance to Nash square, one of the downtown parks.   It took me a bit to see that it wasn't just a wiggly rainbow, it really is a face looking to the sky.

 

The Mount Rapmore of the 2010s

The mount Rushmore of 2010 rap.

Do you recognize them?  I only recognized a few.  I know, I know, we're showing our age.

They are J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Nikki Minaj.

There is a mural for these four in each of their hometowns.  J. Cole-Raleigh, Kendrick Lamar-Los Angeles, Drake-Toronto, and Nikki Minaj-New York.

Here in Raleigh they watch over a parkinglot in downtown.

 

Theme day: rest

 

The theme for this month is "rest".  What is more restful than a dog sleeping in the sun?  What is she dreaming about?
