Over Easter we visited my parents in South Carolina. As you can imagine, the area is typically southern - with cheese grits served in every restaurant, spanish moss hanging off the oak trees and alligators in all the ponds. It is beautiful. But what really blew me away, and has yet to escape my imagination, was Angel Oak, a 1500 year old tree that is rumored to be the oldest living tree east of the Mississippi. When standing in front of it, it was difficult to even comprehend its reach and scale. They say its shade covers 17,200 square feet! And it's limbs are far larger in both diameter and length than the trunks of most other trees. I find that this kind of mind-boggling beauty only appears every now and then, and so I had to go back for a second visit, and then share it with you.
Wow, beautiful! Thank you for sharing those lovely images.

As a southerner myself, I'm not quite sure what the phrase "typically southern" means, but, if it means cheese grits served in every restaurant, then you were one lucky girl!
