I think it's their strength - they are trees that make us feel safe.<br /><br />Happy New Year.Pamhttp://www.talesfromthelaboratory.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-18628785315663079352010-12-29T10:47:31.578-05:002010-12-29T10:47:31.578-05:00There are few trees that evoke such a strong respo...There are few trees that evoke such a strong response in me as Live Oaks, especially moss draped.<br /><br />I hope you had a great Christmas and wish you a wonderful new year.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-27964947209017954302010-12-27T07:44:48.202-05:002010-12-27T07:44:48.202-05:00Now you're talking my language.

Seems like things that look familiar to one is getting more rare.<br />As you progress with your young growth it will become the more familiar.<br />Snowed here today.
