These trees are monuments. What size, what grandness and what beauty. My favorite tree, the Southern magnolia. Thanks for the look. Richard from My Old Historic House.
I DO---every day. But your eye, Sweetpea---your eye and lens send out the A-1 stuff, and we are all the richer for it.
Simply magnificent, especially the crepe myrtle in all her naked vulnerability and timeless beauty.
Janie, you and I share a love of ginkos. They are a favorite of mine, too. My sister used to have an enormous one in the yard of tiny carriage house she lived in when she was in Charleston. It was amazing, and she used to save the leaves because she loved the shape so much. I think the originated in China, didn't they? As did Loess soil.
XO,
