Our World Tuesday: The first Six Days of October

The Brodie Duke Building was originally a tobacco warehouse.

Measurement, Inc. a testing company in Durham, NC renovated this building to be used for offices.

Measurement, Inc did the same thing with several other buildings in Durham.

I've photographed this ice cream truck several times in front of a Durham, NC high school.

The rest of the shots were taken in Raleigh, NC where I live.

I picked shots from each day in October thus far (10-1 through 10-6-2013).

We're still in the early part of fall.

When I spot trees that are changing colors I take a quick shot.

There are a lot of evergreens in my town but some of the green is from oak trees and others that change to their fall colors later.

The rufous-sided towhee was bathing on my deck.

My Virginia Creeper is changing colors.

The brown thrasher was getting ready for a bath.

The carolina wren was drying off after a bath.

The rest of the shots are from a Sunday walk at Shelley Lake.

I'm looking forward to the trails having their fall colors later this fall.

I live in central NC which is usually several weeks to a month behind the fall colors in the NC mountains.

I usually go to the mountains in the fall and catch the peak fall foliage and then come home and get our peak fall show later.

There are mostly ducks at the lake now.

The gulls arrive in the late fall and stay until spring most years.

I usually spot great blue herons at the lake but haven't seen them the past few times I've walked.

It's been noticeable how few Canadian Geese that are at this lake lately.
