First Walk in October

Bill and I went on a walk on the Neuse River Greenway trail today.



The paved trail is 27.5 miles long and seems to be popular with cyclist.



I think of it as being outside of Raleigh, NC but it's part of the Capital Area Greenway System. 



September was the hottest month of the summer which isn't unheard of but that hasn't happened in a long time.



I don't know if the red tree is a young pine that is ready to drop it's needles or not but I like the way it looks.



I can't really complain since June was quite cool and it didn't get very hot until July.



I don't think it has been a hotter summer than usual here.



It just started to get hot later and didn't get cooler until later.



Today was perfect for a walk.



Looking ahead at the weather I think it will be quite pleasant next week although there will be some storms.



There are starting to be signs of fall but plenty of wildflowers remain.
