Blue Ridge Parkway & North Carolina Arboretum

We're sorry for the inconvenience folks, but the Blue Ridge Parkway was closed this day due to lots of snow. However, the Visitor Center was open - check it out!


A photo of the patch that I bought at the Visitor Center gift shop.  I hope to post real photos real soon

Great idea

Outside the Visitor Center

The Visitor Center parking lot - this was the most nature I could find to photograph

Entrance to the North Carolina Arboretum.  It is managed by the University of North Carolina

A grassy knoll

The bonsai exhibit.  Due to sub-zero temperatures they had to move most of the trees to a greenhouse

A chimney.  Kinda weird

The "Quilt Garden".  I guess this exhibit changes regularly - today it was this

The bonsai greenhouse

Only 2 cars in the parking lot this day - and 1 is ours.  Gotta love the off-season
