Trees at Brookgreen Gardens

There are so many very old trees at Brookgreen Gardens.  I thought I would share some of these magnificent trees with Gather! I know there are a lot of tree huggers out there that will appreciate it. 

I've heard this called so many different names.  The most familiar to me is Spanish Moss.

I found this just amazing.

How peaceful is this?

This one must be very old.

This walkway was just beautiful.

I love the colors of the flowers on these two.

I found so many of the tree trunks interesting.  Many are split from age, but still survive.

I find the width and height of these to be amazing too.  I don't think I've ever seen trees so big.

Another huge majestic oak.

I made DH stand in front of it so you could see how immense it was.

I really found this interesting.  I was tempted to stick my head up in the hole to see what it was like inside. 

Here's a close up.  Isn't it amazing?

Another with a large opening in the trunk.

There were so many dogwood trees, all so pretty.

And among all the old, a grove of new pine trees have been planted.

I hope you enjoyed all these beautiful trees as much as I did.
