The spirit of a tree

St. Simons Island is known for its tree spirits. I was determined to visit all eleven listed in the Tree Spirit Scavenger Hunt. Finding some are challenging.

Most interesting, the “tree spirit” with the most presence was not on the list. The featured photograph is a majestic live oak at Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island. As I walked the Broad Street path to the fort, the presence of the tree drew my attention. It’s not an original tree from colonial times but it’s an old tree that’s weathered many storms. All I know is the tree had a presence and spirit not carved by human hands.

Creativity calls out to me, “Pick up a soft pencil or charcoal and draw it.”
