My uncle and I recently, visited my Mom in North Carolina. She lives in Raleigh, also know as the City of Oaks. They have this fun
Acorn Sculpture in Downtown Raleigh.

We also visited
Artspace, a visual art space downtown. I was not allowed to take any photos of the art but, I took a few shots in the building. About 40 artists work in the building in a open studio environment. I had some favorites including
Chung (Fanky) Chak,
Alison Overton and

We stopped by the
Farmer's Market, which is really big and full of produce, meat and local products. It was a blast to walk around. I love farmers markets. I even bought a Coca-Cola in a glass bottle. My favorite!

I took this photo on the way back to Raleigh from my Aunt's house in Angiers, NC. We stopped at this
Sunni Skys ice cream shop, so I could snap a few photos.

It was a great trip and great weather. I think it is funny that everyone says "y'all".
"Y'all" is advanced English, in this humble Texan's opinion. It can be a plural OR singular second-person pronoun. Magic!
ReplyDeleteCool photos. It looks like y'all had a fun trip! :D
