The Angel Oak Tree



Why would anyone want to drive to the outskirts of Charleston to look at a tree?

A road that literally ends up in the middle of no where on a dirt road!

To see a tree?!





Well, we did......And I am SOOO glad we did.


There is NOT another tree like this ANYWHERE!


In all of its majestic glory, it was mahhhhvelous!  (do you hear the angels' singing?!)


This live oak is almost 400 years old!  It was here before the pilgrims!




Take a moment to notice how LONG each branch has stretched!




Some branches are so long, that over time, they have grown INTO the ground and came back out!!




We also noticed one of four, white squirrels running around.  It was kinda creepy and kinda cute, all at the same time.  :)



To give you an idea of how enormous this tree really is, here we are standing at the base!  There is no way to capture its beauty through a camera lens.

So, you will just have to go to Charleston and see it for yourself! HA!





Blessings,
Steph
