Huge tree kept from toppling into the lake by rocky supports.
Precarious twins
It’s still sweltering here. Far too hot to do anything energetic. So I’ve meandered around amusing myself by searching out intriguing and unusual natural formations.
Many of the trees at waters’ edge just about have the supporting earth washed away. It looks like the Army Corps of Engineers has put rocks around some of the more precarious ones to help support them. But every time a jet ski flies by, strong waves crash relentlessly against them, taking a bit more of the red clay support. And leaving even more fantastic forms behind.
This one can’t last long. It looks like grandaddy long-legs spider legs are holding it up.
We have had nice, strong breezes today as the ever-threatened, seldom-materialized thunderstorms pass us by.
One thing this trip has taught us is not to ever camp in South Carolina in the summertime again!
Ron brought home superb Mexican take-out for dinner this evening.
I’m still drawing plans for a camper van. I am so itching to tackle that project! Hopefully next year!

Odd trees on the swamp side

Growing at water’s edge. I used to know their name, but have forgotten and am too lazy to look them up. 🙂

/ June 8, 2014Odd tree’s amuse me too. I must have taken a dozen or more last camping trip of the dame tree from as many sides as I could. Your pictures are wonderful. To bad about the heat. But the water looks so good.
