I was surprised how many trees had leaves in downtown Raleigh.
In North Raleigh where I live most of the leaves dropped this week.
The shots above and below are of the Natural Science Museum.
I took the next shot from the Capitol Square showing the Vietnam War Memorial and Christ Church across the street.
The red building below is the old Briggs Hardware store and it now holds an art gallery.
The shot below is of the Federal Building and the taller building is a corner of the Wake County Courthouse.
There's a small outdoor ice skating rink.
Too early for me to think about Christmas.
I like the mural below on a building in Moore Square.
Sometimes a storm will hit my side of town and skip another part of the town which may be why the wind blew the leaves off my trees but not downtown yet.
Raleigh's nickname is the city of oaks and we take our acorns seriously.
Below is the Children's Museum.
On another side of the museum is the statue of Mohandas K. Gandhi with the title you must be the change you wish to see in the world. Good choice for a children's museum.
I wouldn't choose pink trim but I think the house below is attractive.
I spotted a guard on the balcony of a downtown apartment.
The next two shots are of the Governor's Mansion.
I think it looks like a big gingerbread house.
Below you can see the outside of the planet earth model which is part of the Science Nature Research Museum and has rooms inside of the enormous planet model.
The continents are from satellite imagery.

There is much creativity in the architectural designs and art beautifying your world and in many ways a wonderful sense of social conscience and purpose. I love the Gandhi quote … it is so true even though it is not so easy to do.
Love the reflections in the window! Lovely.
