Today I visited the Raven Rock state park, about an hour south of Raleigh.

It's not very warm anymore but it was a pleasant day for a walk. I did a 5 miles trail, through fall colored woods.

Entrance of the Raven Rock park.

Just when I started on the trail I saw this bird trainer with his bird.

Showing the bird to a family in Sunday dress.

Where am I going?!

Falls in the river. I took this picture with a shutter speed of 1/30 seconds to smooth out the water. I used a water bottle as a made-up tripod.

The result of an experiment in taking pictures of a dark subject. I took the picture around 5.30 pm; it was getting dark.
