Me again. Actually, we hate Spanish moss with a passion. I think it kills the trees although I've had a tree person say no...but a lot of dead trees or dying trees are covered with the stuff. It's also full of bugs and itches like crazy. Our oaks at the old Ocala house were filled with the stuff and I had to try to pull it off without getting covered in it.
There's a funny story about the Indians back in the late 1800s...when the white eyes showed up the Indians told them to use "Spanish moss" to stuff pillows and mattresses...heh, heh. Drove the white settlers crazy!
Wonderful Kate, I can hear the babbling water from here- tranquility indeed!
ReplyDeleteEven moreso, when that nature is trailing its fingers in a slowly moving stream.

ReplyDeleteHeh, heh...I posted Spanish mossy trees for "tranquility" also, but you didn't take this in Minneeesota! Georgia?
ReplyDeleteVery tranquil Kate, but I agree with Lowell that this was not shot in Mn because of the Spanish moss. Hanging from the trees.
