| The Wedding Tree--600 years old. |

| This branch sagged to the ground, appearing to have grown legs. |

These trees do not grow in my back yard. We live just a little too far north to grow these amazing trees. Live oak trees grow short trunks and support massive lateral branches. They also host resurrection fern and spanish moss, creating an ecosystem all of their own. Given space and time, they grow to immense size and age. While on vacation last week, I was privileged to visit Florida's Eden Garden State Park. This old estate has some of the most beautiful live oaks I've ever seen. Even though they aren't in my backyard, I thought you might enjoy seeing photos.
