Marveling at the beauty of Longleaf Pine bark after a spring rain.
Longleaf Music
About an hour ago, Robert and I arrived at our Seminole State Park cottage in southwest Georgia on the Florida and Alabama border.
It’s overcast and raining with a threat of severe weather.
We’ve been to this park before and love it, one major reason being the prevalence of our favorite tree, the Longleaf Pine.
Here are a few pines outside our door along the shore of a finger of Lake Seminole. They are swaying gently and singing with the wind in the evening rain.
“Robert and …” #5
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of Hubby Robert and … well, just about anything.
Robert and the Longleaf
Ever since we read Janisse Ray’s Ecology of a Cracker Childhood and watched the beautiful documentary Secrets of the Longleaf, Robert and I have been obsessed with the majestic Longleaf Pine Tree.
The Longleaf Pine once reigned supreme, covering over 90 million acres across the coastal plain of the U.S. Now, because of logging and mismanagement, only several million acres are left.
Robert and I have been fortunate to see the stately pine and reintroduction efforts in our Georgia State Part travels.
Here’s Robert … talking to a Longleaf, while others in the background lean in to listen …
And here he is … massaging the tree …
(I try not to judge. Just document.)
