angel oak tree



one of my favorite parts of visiting charleston this fall, was seeing the angel oak tree.  it's a huuggggeeee live oak about 15 minutes outside of charleston (the turn off to the oak is marked by a simple white wooden sign - we almost missed it!). matt and i spent a good part of our afternoon one day at the angel tree - i think about a third of the photos i took on our little trip were taken here. so many branches and so beautiful!

the angel oak is believed to be over 1500 years old. and the longest branch was over 90 feet long! it was really just amazing to see.
