Doing a fair job of camouflage this Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina ) is at home on the lands of the North Carolina Arbortum. This reptile is the only live animal I share today from this special preserve.This winged statue seemed posed to take flight over the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains.

Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergWorthy of a second look this incredible statuary seems quite at home in this nature-filled setting. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergEasily missed but worth spotting is this quiet, reserved stone Owl. I did a double take to make sure what I thought I spotted was indeed another statue.

I only saw a portion of the North Carolina Arbortum but it is a real treasure and host to much riches, natural and manmade. Copyright 2023 Pamela Breitberg
