Terri’s theme for this challenge is Trees. She asks us to share any kind of trees and be creative with the simple prompt. I am going to focus on three types of trees we see all around us in Coastal and South Georgia.
My featured image is a mixture of Live Oak trees and palm trees in our neighborhood. The first image in the below gallery is a Maritime Forest on Jekyll Island. The other two are Live Oak trees draped with Spanish Moss.




Cabbage Palms, also known as a Sabal Palmetto, is the only palm tree native to Georgia.
The final gallery shows Cypress trees in the Okefenokee Swamp in south Georgia.


Many thanks to Terri for her Sunday Stills challenge All the trees in the field
Every Day is a Gift

You shared some awesome trees for Terri’s challenge. I don’t see your kind of trees very often. So thank you!
