live oaks

Live Oaks are a southern symbol of strength.  The wood is hard and strong, it's used for structural beams and in places requiring strength and durability.  I spread my limbs and let the world know I am a Mighty Live Oak inside!

I fell in love with the massive, intriguing Live Oak trees in Louisiana!  They are so very tall they make any building nearby seem small and squatty.  These wonderful trees survived Katrina!  Amazing!! :0)
