Kyle DöringWent and saw the open air exhibit called Trolls: a Field Study by danish sustainability artist Thomas Dambo at the NC Arboretum!
Such a cool and inspirational installation to experience while they visit.
John Watson 🇺🇸🇨🇦Hello all. Had a great time at #winterlights, hosted by the #ncarboretum this week. Definitely recommend this.
EdgeThe #trolls have come to the #NCArboretum! Here now until sometime in February.
Judging by the crowd today, they are going to be VERY popular! Technically, these are a dozen baby trolls.
From Wikipedia:
"Thomas Dambo is a Danish "recycle art activist" who is known for his installations of giant monumental wooden sculptures called trolls, made entirely out of recycled materials."
Good Friday morning to all, from the #Asheville area! A nice walk/hike at the #NCArboretum is now in the books, and coffee is being gratefully consumed.
It opens at 8 so not an early start, but about 32 to begin and 41 now, so good hiking temps.
I'm a slow-poke, but it's a nice big loop, basically on what look like fire roads, so less uneven terrain. Seeing some more areas of #Helene damage for the first time, but the Arboretum has done so much work and restoration.
Always a nice place to be outside! And for once not a single car was parked at the BRP interface with the MST.
Early Saturday stop at the #NCArboretum for the #bonsai before they pick them up for the winter. So gorgeous to see the tiny trees changing color like their big brethren.
Another jolt of color from the #NCArboretum here in #Asheville today. They have many large (sometimes moveable) pots planted with trees and annuals scattered around, so the setting changes every time you visit.
I imagine these are petunias, and the orange with the green is one of my favorite combinations (just add purple.) Secondary colors for the win!
Went by the #NCArboretum today, and they had just updated their plant quilt. It was gorgeous on this overcast day, and there were remarkably few people there.
Now, if I could only convince them to have a coffee truck so I don't have to bring in our own...

My version is... well a little off, like most of my photos.
The meander around the #NCArboretum today started with overcast skies and cool temps, but the sun decided to visit and that changed quickly.
A small group of #bench photos, for anyone else who likes to see them in the "wild."
