I had forgotten we walked around the Avenue of Oaks at Magnolia Plantation a few weeks ago. An ‘Avenue of Oaks’ is the old plantation roads that lead down into the main house. Usually lined with large oaks and hanging moss. The Oaks are hundred’s of years old, they are slow growers, and spread out far. There is another tree outside Charleston (Angel Oak) estimated to be 500 years old, the branches span 187 ft (57 m) in length.
Magnolia’s avenue is fairly long and wide. Time has added some trees and taken others. The trees are huge and like all the old places Azalea’s are everywhere. It’s been years since I walked the length.
Not what I usually shoot. But I had a shorter lens with me, and Ellen was heading out. I followed along behind….

Nice colors !
Spring here is over the top (most years).
I’ve always thought that Spanish was really beautiful, I love the way it hangs on the trees, to me it says the South.
🙏🙏, Oh God Yes! Our first trip here (thinking of a move), nearing our short rental house, we crossed a small bridge…with Spanish Moss along the side rail that had blown in. I just pointed and said LOOK. I probably knew then this was the place. A few visits to swamps…10 years later I type this on a southern porch 🤗
