The tree of enlightenment. Let me call it Buddha Tree.

That is a beauty, Jacob. My Fort Myers community has lots of live oaks and took many pains to build around them.

You were right on target with your comments on HDP today. I'm sure seals were an influence on the shape of Sedna . . . the goddess of the sea and marine animals. And, yes, those ladies were Red hat Ladies. I waited until I had one framed before I clicked.

So you do the same thing?! "Oh, Look a tree, lemme get my camera." :-)

This is one incredible tree! I'm suspecting that it has Spanish Moss hanging from it? Nice color at the base, too.

Magnificent!

I love the Spanish moss hanging from it too, but I will never forget Lois' warnings about it so you won't ever see me walking underneath them now.

Randy said...

Wow that really is a lovely tree!

What a strong and healthy tree. They are like people, every one has character. Beauty!

What a gorgeous tree with a wonderful shape.

Judy said...

You named it just right! And it's made even more grand by the colorful plantings around it.

Look at that! Gorgeous. The way I play golf, I'm sure I'd lose my ball right in all of those flowers underneath.

Great shot though, it is impressive.

Magnificent!
I love it!:)

That's a fantastic tree. Awesome!

Wonderful tree...I hope the Spanish moss growing on it doesn't kill it. The red flowers around it are a perfect touch.
