I found myself in the front of an old Anglican church with an attached graveyard, but saw no tree that I thought would have been 1500 years old...altho there were plenty of trees, all with that wonderful Spanish Moss hanging from each limb, none looked to be that old. Another car pulled into the parking spot next to mine with a woman (Mom) and 2 young ladies (daughters) in tow. I asked them if they knew where the Angel Oak was...."Oh, just down that road, but don't go now, there are huge buses with hoards of people." OK, that gives me time to wander around the old graveyard and drool over the flowers that were coming into bloom.
Standing under the old live oaks there were hundreds of acorns and fallen leaves at my feet....and yes, I wore my Sketcher's Go Walks practically everyday. They sure were comfortable with all the walking I did in a week's time...
All kinds of growth happening on these branches....
And ofcourse there was a gift shop but the porch looks like it could use a little sprucing up for Spring....
I have many more adventures to share in the coming days....but if you want a preview, hop on over to my collaborative blog Focusing On Life where I have shared many of my Charleston images.
"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open."
Until next time.....
That tree is awesome. I also like the photos you took in the cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI've photographed both those places. You're lucky there were no people climbing all over the tree so you could focus on its beauty. Must be a lovely time to visit Charleston; I usually go in the heat of summer when you can't breathe and can cut the humidity with a sword!

ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how you've made my heart yearn for Charleston ... and I have to wait until July this year. Beautiful photos and they really do stir my heart. You know, it took a while but now I believe I love the marsh areas as much as the ocean areas. Yes, the Low Country has a way of getting in your blood.
