Angel Oak

We took a family outing to John's Island to see this beautiful Angel Oak tree.  This beauty is believed to be over 1500 years old!!  If you ever get the chance to head that way, you should!  There's plenty of room for the kids to run.  Mal had the BEST time playing "over the branches, under the branches"  :) 

Today the live oak has a diameter of spread reaching 160 feet, a circumference of nearly 25 feet, and covers 17,100 square feet of ground.  I need to buy a serious wide angle lens to get all that tree in one photo!





She's a tree hugger.  :)





This is my favorite!





Yea, she has branches sprouting from her head, but she's still adorable  :)


Ha!  LOVE that face!





Man oh man, I LOVE these girls!!!





That little pink dot is Mallory Grace  :)








All of my loves...


I'm desperately trying to be in more photos!

  1. That tree is amazing!!! I've been hoping that Joshua & I could take a trip down to Charleston sometime this year or next & I'll have to put her on our list of things to see in the area. Thanks for sharing!!
