The Big Tree

Ok, I lied. I'm uploading one of my own pictures. One of my first days in Florida, Megan was off working so her friends were trying desperately to entertain me (they'd yet to realize I'm not difficult to please). They took me to part of the island where there is a museum and really cool scenery. They said "we have to take her to see the big tree!" My interest was sparked...
Here is what I saw:
I'm not sure if you can tell, but the roots are out of the ground so much that they are basically the entirety of the bottom half of the tree. I was in awe. It looked like the perfect place to sit and read a book all day. Or to get married (which unfortunately, they do not allow). I have to say, it was one of my favorite places I visited while there.

  1. Did they tell you what KIND of a big tree it was? Unless I miss my guess, I believe it is called a Kapok tree - - - google for an image and see if you think I'm right.

  3. It's kinda interesting how I do know it! One of my bloggy friends posted a picture of one several months ago, and I sent a link to my MIL who has lived in FL for 57 years and SHE told me what it was. SO - - - when I saw your picture, I just had to be Miss Smarty Pants!
