pie & pelicans - and so begins autumn

 A variety of photos taken over the last month. Here are a few shots from a trip to the outer banks of North Carolina we just returned from. Here we are on the ferry between Cedar Island and Ocracoke Island.

 Accompanying us to the Outer Banks were our friends Lee Hsiang, Torbjørn, and their daughter Solfrid.

 Homemade pumpkin pie from some time in late October.

 More photos from Ocracoke.

 On the way back from Ocracoke we stopped at a state park along the Neuse River, ate apples, and hiked around.
