Thursday 13: Angel Oak

I’ve written about the Angel Oak before, but it’s so beautiful it deserves multiple mentions.  We usually go visit it every year on vacation, and I always take lots of pictures. 

So, for Thursday13, here are pictures from our 2021 trip.

1.     The Angel Oak is huge.  You can read more about its dimensions here.

2.     Here’s a view with most of the tree to give you an idea of its size.

3.     Here’s another angle of the main trunk.

4.     And another angle of the main trunk.

5.     It has huge branches that sprawl in all directions.

6.     Some of the branches have so many of their own branches that they almost seem like their own mini forest.

7.     Many of the branches are bigger than some trees.

8.     I think the moss that grows on some of the shadier branches is beautiful.

9.     Some of the branches sprawl along the ground.

10.  Some of them are huge.

11.  Here’s a picture to give you an idea of how many branches the main trunk has.

12.  I love looking at all of the different directions that the branches twist and turn.

13.  I think some of the most beautiful views come from standing underneath and looking at the branches as they twist and turn across the sky.
