Lover's Oak, Brunswick

I love trees in general and big old trees in particular.  The famous
Lover's Oak in Brunswick on the Georgia coast is estimated to be 900 years old.  Recently, I finally got a chance to visit...

The Lover's Oak is located at the intersection of Albany and Prince streets near the historic downtown district of the old port town of Brunswick.  

Click HERE for the Golden Isles website about the oak.

Click HERE for the Gallivance website that includes vintage photos of the oak as well as Native American legends connected to it.

Are you also a lover of old trees?  The Majestic Oak near Savannah is huge, old, and stunning.  Its branches spread to take up almost a whole block. Click HERE for information on the Majestic oak and others along the East Coast.

My primary camera is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel T5 with a Sigma DC 18-200mm lens (1:3.5-6.3) or Canon EFS 18-55mm lens. On occasion I also use my iPhone 6. For crisper images (when I'm not in a hurry to grab the shot), I use a Dolica Proline B100 tripod. I often tweak my images using Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.
