Savannah - Big oak trees

One of the things that Debbie and I really enjoyed seeing were the huge oak trees.  Especially the ones with Spanish moss hanging from the branches.  The photos do not do them justice.

 

A typical median along several of the streets in the historic district.

 

 

 

 

The oak trees create an arch over the sidewalk along Bay Street just south of the river.

An oak tree near Forsythe Park.  The tour guide said the tree is over 200 years old.
 

  

A statue and oak trees in Madison Square.  There are 22 squares, or parks, in the historic district.  Each of them have big oak trees with statues or fountains in the center of the square.  Most of the statues or monuments are of historical figures from Savannah's past. Very nice places to just sit and enjoy the day or night.

 We took a bunch more photos.  I will post more later.  Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend.  We did.
