Even in winter, some trees in Selma are never completely bare. Instead, they keep some leaves (such as oaks) and bear the beards of Spanish Moss. While the moss makes its own food and is not considered a parasite, it does shade tree branches from sunlight. Still, I think it's beautiful.

Under the Moss Umbrella
Even in winter, some trees in Selma are never completely bare. Instead, they keep some leaves (such as oaks) and bear the beards of Spanish Moss. While the moss makes its own food and is not considered a parasite, it does shade tree branches from sunlight. Still, I think it's beautiful.

It is beautiful indeed, particularly with the pale blue sky in the background. I think it would be pretty creepy looking in fog.
That is a lovely photo of the moss covered tree.
It is very pretty and sort of romantic! Pretty photo!
are ya trying to kill me? this is the most beautiful tree ever! perfect for squirrels in love! trees are wonderful, but this is stunning.
Just need one of those drinks that comes in a big glass and a porch to sit on.
I've always liked Spanish moss - I wish we could have it here.
This is a really nice photo too!
Santa claus was caught the beard in the branches while setting out again
Beautiful picture! Some trees make great pics any season of the year...
Have a great week!
I find it beautiful as well! Though, sunshine? Even nicer this time of year, and I could certainly use some over here!
Happy New Year to you! (Sorry, I'm a bit late, caught up with some personal obligations)
How beautiful - it looks like rain falling thru the branches
Fantastic shot! Love the perspective!
Great shot of this magnificent tree. I love Spanish Moss, and you really captured its beauty in this photo from this angle.
That IS beautiful
It's very beautiful and it makes me nostalgic. I saw Spanish moss for the first time when I was in Florida two years ago. Snif, I'd like to be there (in your country).
I love it too! Looking out my window on a big live oak covered in moss right now ;-)
Amazing! I think that this is one of my favorite photos ever...
that is so cool to see these moss hanging like christmas tinsels on the branches!
I love this image. Nothing like a little Spanish moss to keep your trees warm! :)
This is stunning!
Also loved your theme day photo.
I second Jim, the glass, the porch, yes please!
The light is perfect, you can almost feel the moss.
Love this photo. Great shot.
It is absolutely gorgeous. I love this shot!
What an awesome photo! I'd love to spend a cool summer day under that tree.
