Two day trip to NC

It was foggy when we left and gray when we returned, but fairly sunny in North Carolina.  On Monday, I saw a pretty garden in the historic part of Hillsborough.  Toward evening, the waxing moon shone in an almost cloudless sky.  I could hear a few birds that I couldn't see.  There were some scary-sized anthills in the reddish soil. 

Tuesday was cloudier in North Carolina.  We briefly visited a small city park (with a dry detention pond to control runoff) that had a wildflower border.  Trees were much further advanced toward Autumn than back home and most of the wildflowers had gone to seed.  Their beauty berries were redder than mine. A couple of bagworms hung from twigs.  

On the way home, I got pictures of Kerr Reservoir and the Roanoke River.  The sky grew overcast soon after we turned East.  We passed a surprising number of cotton fields in Virginia.
