downtown raleigh!

Right across from my office is a little block of land called Nash Square, and it's a nice little oasis in the middle of super-developed downtown Raleigh.  Now that spring has spring, it's extra beautiful!  I spent about an hour there yesterday afternoon, which I had been hoping to do for a while.  But now that my online photography class has started and we're allowed to submit samples every once in a while, I had some extra motivation. 

Nash Square is home to the North Carolina Firefighters' Memorial.

 

 That small building on the right is home to the News & Observer!

We all know how I feel about shoes.

This stately man is Josephus Daniels, who used to be the editor of the News & Observer (hence his presence across the street) and is the namesake of UNC Student Stores!

I love, love, love this magnolia tree.  Just standing under it feels like a dream!

 

I'll probably post a lot more often now that my class motivates me to go discover new places to shoot, so stay tuned!
