Joseph's Tree

  

Joseph's Tree

Joseph, our favorite park ranger, in our favorite SC State Park spun some amazing tales of history both natural and human. To him the magnolia was a symbol of friendship, beauty and generosity prevailing over the darkness of war, hate and evil deeds. This young tree overcame adversity, growing in a swampy salt marsh, and surviving several hurricanes that devastated the island in it's short life. 

It is tenacity personified, the perfect symbol of all that is good in human nature.

The Live Oaks of the South Eastern US fascinate me and whisper to my muse paint me - paint me!

 and so I do. 

This tree in particular is an old friend, she stretches her arms over our favorite campsite at Edisto SP, SC. We're treated to a constant parade of racoons, opossums and other critters that live in her many hollows, many a time I've made supper to an avid audience!
