A Great White Oak



I was at my nephew's wedding on Saturday and he and his lovely bride (now on their honeymoon in Mexico) tied the knot under this massive white oak owned by the bride's family in Virginia's Northern Neck. The picture, below, shows my mother next to the trunk. I was told, third-hand, that the tree is 400-years old, which means it is considerably older than this great nation.  And it might be true!
