Finishing the outer loop trail brought us close to the end of our walk.
.
.
Another sculpture.

.
That my not a fan of modern art husband had a hard time deciphering. I keep telling him you don’t have to understand art … just enjoy it.

The lilac gardens were next and though it was a small area ….

The scent was gloriously large.

Even she thought so.
.
.
Or maybe she didn’t. It’s hard to tell.

We really enjoyed the time we spent here. A true hidden oasis in the middle of our state’s capitol.
.

I had to laugh that my husband has the old wooden apple press shown on that sign.
.
.
So there you have it.
A full tour of Viles Arboretum.
.
.
Ending with the least expensive and smallest sculpture on offer.
.
River's world..... 
Last sculpture is my favorite. 😀

Is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” true….
Or just a way apple sellers make a buyer of you?
Either way, the sign at the arboretum
Leads to temptation to want to eat ’em!

I’d love apples even if they weren’t healthy so I’m probably the wrong person to ask..

The plaque for the Meditation statue has a typo. It lists the town as Wanye, Maine… which I thought was odd, so I looked checked Google. Maybe that’s worth a discount on the $16,500 price tag….

Those lilacs!! I do love them so much, and of course the little apple orchard. The bear sculpture is cute. So your hubs has an apple press at home? Shocker……NOT! 😂

I love apples – especially when pressed and fermented into a wickedly strong, dry cider…
