Treaty Oak in Jacksonville


Treaty oak. This tree was saved in part because a journalist invented a story that claimed the the white settlers struck a treaty with the Indians under it. This is not true, but the name stuck. It is in fact a 250 year old tree that was saved in part because of the activism of the Garden Club of Jacksonville.


A view up into the canopy of the tree. These oaks are amazing, and there are lots of them all over Jacksonville, but this is the biggest and oldest one.

Outing to Big Talbot Island


Big Talbot Island has a lot of old oak trees right next to the beach.


The oaks fall down onto the beach and are turned into huge driftwood sculptures.


Just the right setting for America's Next Top Models.
