Live Oaks, to me, capture the essence of southern living. These magnificent trees laced with Spanish Moss greet you, arms outstretched, everywhere you look in the south.
Here is the most famous Live Oak in the South:
Angel Oak is 1,500 years old and encompasses 17,000 square feet with its longest limb reaching 105 feet.
Yes, it is incredible.

Fabulous – the first one of Angel Oak with the sun shining thru is pure magic. I hope to go back and photograph it under different lighting conditions myself. And I can’t get enough of the Spanish Moss dangling in the branches. It seems like it prefers the live oaks as host?

Thanks! I was very happy with that day. I love Spanish Moss, too. It grows on other types of trees but you will never see a Southern Live Oak without it.
