Touring the Triangle -- Duke Gardens

This week's chillier-than-normal weather makes me want to remind everyone that it is indeed still spring.  Jason and I went to Duke Gardens a few weeks ago on another chilly morning.  The flowers may have been in full bloom, but I was taking photos of them while wearing gloves, jackets, and multiple layers.  Worth the numb fingertips and noses?  You betcha.

Touring the Triangle -- Yates Mill

Last weekend, Jason and I ventured to a new photo destination for us -- Yates Mill.  It was a beautiful fall day, but suuuuuuuper cold when we got there at 8:00!  I had on my running tights, jeans, knee-high socks, several shirts, my NC State hoodie (had to on State vs. Carolina day!), gloves, and a toboggan.  All that, and I was still freezing the whole time.

The sights were totally worth the cold.  I haven't edited any of my pictures, but here are some of my favorites from Jason.

I couldn't decide which picture I liked better, blurry window/clear reflection...

or clear window/blurry reflection.

And possibly my favorite...

Touring the Triangle

Last month, when Jason and I toured Larry's Beans (see previous post here), we decided to walk around downtown Raleigh.  I have to confess, I don't get really inspired downtown.  Sure, I love the museums, but that's about it.  Here are a few pictures that I did find to take.
