There are many lovely old live oak trees around here. Many we found in the small community of Independence, TX are so old, they nearly lay down on the ground!
This is one of the smaller ones, not yet reaching the ground but showing many years of storm damage and trimming.
Great tree sketch. I just love gnarly ones like that, so much character.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketch, Vicky! Love those trees!
ReplyDeleteLove this! How interesting!
ReplyDeleteCheck out this same sketch on my blog . . . There's a photo of Bill in a larger live oak nearby! Younger live oaks are full and upright. Then they just keep on spreading!

I loved that! And Bill looked so cute up a tree just like a little boy!
DeleteHe is very cute when he feels more light-hearted . . . and I'm so thankful to have him!
DeleteI'm delighted as well--we love both of you.
DeleteI love the character of this old tree.
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Elva! All the live oaks at Old Baylor had "personalities".
