That's the thing about trees... many of them will get as majestic as that provided they get enough space and time.

Works surprisingly well in dappled light. Great composition, too!

Thanks! I had spent the morning shooting the beach nearby that is one of few beaches in Florida that has rocks along the coastline that make for nice foreground subjects. By the time I got to this tree it was mid morning and there’s not much else to shoot in this kind of light but I agree the end result is not too bad.

At first I thought this was one of those “what taking mushrooms feels like” posts, seriously cool tree!

At first glance it looked like a painting, I need more coffee!

I’m less than 5 miles from there but have never been. It looks pretty. Is there a lot to see there?

I’d say if you’re that close it’s 100% worth a visit. There are some of trails to explore and it borders the inlet where you can spot dolphins occasionally.

Visited this park last March. It was gorgeous! I am from North Idaho so it was fascinating seeing the different landscape.

I bet! I imagine there are some nice scenes in north Idaho that would be fascinating to someone like me.

What kind of tree is that 🌳?
scampia OP t1_j8nxsh3 wrote
Oak
LarsVonHammerstein t1_j8p1w8v wrote
Live oak (Quercus virginiana) to be exact

Live oaks grow very slowly. I recall the beautiful live oaks at my grandmother's property in the 1970's. They survived several hurricanes and tropical storms since then. I recently saw them at the now empty property. They dont look like they have grown an inch.

Gorgeous state park! One of the paths there passes through the woods to a view of the Matanzas River where if you’re lucky, you can spot a manatee, dolphin or whale swim by. There’s beach access just across the street as well! Make a day trip of it and visit Ponce de Leon lighthouse about an hour south as well!

It is so hard to find a tree as majestic as that.
