Description
This may be the best known Live Oak tree found along the Crystal Coast. At least well know to locals. It is sometimes referred to as the "Portrait Oak" as it is a popular location for family and senior photos. Located in the Hoop Hole Creek Nature Preserve, the ancient tree is estimated to be 300 years old! The nature reserve is found in the center of Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. The property consists of maritime forest and estuarine wetlands. It is a prime example of barrier island ecosystem before European explorers and colonists slammed into the North American continent.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
