Thursday Tree Love: Live Oak with Resurrection Fern and Spanish Moss Over Water

by 35 Comments

“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.” – Rachel Carson

My friend enticed me to go to Airlie Gardens a couple of weeks ago to take pictures. I’m so glad we went. It was a perfect spring morning. This cluster of live oaks leaning over the water were among my favorites.

Skirted by azaleas, the trunks provided a home for resurrection fern. Branches leaning over water were draped in Spanish Moss.

      Thank you, Dan! I’m glad you enjoyed them. It is a nice place. Not the wilderness I’ve often craved, but the older I get, the more I appreciate gardens well-tended by someone else.
