Annoying oak tree thread in bound: great time to unfollow. I warned you I was a truly terrible twitter follow...

So for years I’ve waddled around my neighborhood & taken countless pics of the ginormous live oaks all around me. Soon I’ll use my real camera to take some frame-worthy photos for a collection called ‘The Giant Oaks of East Savannah’. The title means it’s classy & stuff...

But today before it rained I waddled about to look at some oaks in the really interesting light. Here are some:
Not so giant live oak in park behind my house. But has great bones.

Truly ginormous live oak at neighbors’ bungalow at the park. Zoom in. That is one base of a tree. Its circumference at the ground is insane.

One of the large & taller of the giant oaks. Behind a neighbor on Bonaventure. Gorgeous.

Probably the largest live oak around here is very difficult to photograph well. It’s in the back of a neighbor’s house two blocks away. Easiest to view from the lane in the rear. But power lines plus limited open space make it impossible to get it all in one shot.

Here’s another live oak with a massive canopy.

And here is the street of all chinkapin oaks. This is the tree i took the acorn from 9 years ago to germinate & grow in our yard. My dad’s best friend’s house. These are smaller oaks but lovely. Anyway, will be a nice collection soon. Mercifully this is the end of the thread!

Anyway, if you know why I love these trees so much then you also know my views on local police work. They can’t be rushed. No lasting good happens to them in a day but something forever bad can happen instantly. So act w/ care every single day. For our long term. That’s the point

Here’s the Majestic Oak a few miles away. And here is one that is a secret gem. It’s at the old dairy down the street but way deep near the marsh. I’ve been to a lot of places on this planet. Our little neighborhood is my favorite place on it. Why am I a local cop? This is why.
