Spanish Moss in Our Live Oak Trees

Just here to wish everyone a happy Saturday! Sending an image of
a live oak with the sun hitting the draping Spanish Moss and highlighting the resurrection fern – which is quite a miracle. Looks crispy and dead one moment and if a splash of rain hits it, turns bright green like the healthiest fern you’ve ever seen. Continue reading “Spanish Moss in Our Live Oak Trees”

A Strong Presence
The large live oak trees in Charleston have such presence. They’re so strong. They have so much life with their branches reaching, twisting and turning. They are such beautiful trees. This is a close up of just how cool the shadows are on these trees. This is without the Spanish moss and Resurrection Fern. This is a younger tree. We planted it about 24 years ago, it was 10 years old at time of planting. We never guessed we would have seen it so large in our lifetime. Continue reading “A Strong Presence”

Live Oak Squiggles. A very technical term (it may be just mine??) for those yellowish-green squiggles that appear on the Live Oak trees in the Spring after a good bit of their leaves have dropped. These trees are amazing! Continue reading “Live Oak “Squiggles””
What is this?

An abstract painting? Something from outer space?
I subconsciously am always on the lookout for a cool photo no matter the subject. Sometimes it’s the way light hits or the way shadows form. Sometimes it’s something interesting and different and sometimes it’s an everyday item/occurrence seen in a different light. Continue reading “What is this?”
