Favorite Tree Nominee


Charleston, S.C.

On the off chance that you don't already have a favorite tree in your life, I am submitting this live oak for your consideration.

There is always music amongst the trees in the Garden,
but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.

    That is some tree. It could be a favorite, but I would have to be there to meet it and become aquainted. Sally

  2. I do like Live Oaks but I'm kind of particular to the Boojum Tree, too!

    I *love* this tree...there's something spiritual about standing in the cleft of that huge tree; to be surrounded with that kind of strength leaves me in awe. Great pic, Joan, of one of my favorite things. ~Trish Jarrell

  6. Sally - Come on down!

    Catalyst - Had to look that up. Slightly different model!

    Trish - I'll get you a copy of the picture.

    Jeanne Quinn - almost like it spilt and then kept growing.

    Pamela - St. Francis campus. Next time you are there go through the garden. Bring your camera.

  7. I never realized there was a garden! I'll make a special trip to go see it since I won't be back for 10 weeks!
