Some trees were just made for climbing and this one seems to be kneeling down to make it easier for the kids! My good friend Beth pointed out that there is a heart in the branches of the tree, so I'm entering this picture in Clytie's Guest Heart Thursday over at Random Hearts. Thanks Beth!

Lovely, I see the Spanish moss again.
Great tree. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires fall protection measures, such as harnesses and lanyards, whenever a worker is at a height of 6 feet or more. Kids climbing this tree could easily reach that height, but OSHA does not regulate children climbing in trees.
Dave, there was actually a parent keeping a close eye on these kids. He just didn't make it into my picture!
I think live oaks are the grandest trees of all. I miss seeing them. Ah well, later this month perhaps.
I climbed that tree so many times as a kid. The bark is worn smooth in a lot of places.
Love it because I love to climb trees. I am glad kids still do to and that they are allowed to. What a fun tree. MB
Oh yeah, that is a great tree for climbing!
What a beautiful tree with the moss hanging. I wouldn't mind climbing it myself, haha!

What fun for kids! Enlarging your photo showed more texture than I was aware of .... I also might have missed the tree's "crutch"!
Oh, my WORD! That is one of the most wonderful looking trees I think I've ever seen. And there is a heart in the branches, you know...this picture just fills my eyes.
Happy Guest Heart Thursday!
This is a great climbing tree indeed.
Thank goodness kids are still allowed to climb trees -- and without helmets or knee pads. Oh my.
This has to be an all time favorite tree in our town, don't you agree?
Hi Lois,
Mother nature has something for every one. It looks like great fun no matter what your age is.
Woohoo! ((hugs))
awesome tree Lois...i could rest there and gaze at the sky for days on end!
My son just turned 5 and I think it's time to introduce him to this climbing tree. He's going to love it!
I see the heart Beth found! I'm so happy to see you here on Guest Heart Thursday, Lois!
When I was a kid, my mom said my name should have been "Clytie Uppatree", cause that's where I always ended up!
I loved climbing trees as a kid! This is wonderful!!!
Thanks for your expression of concern, Lois. Denise is improving daily and we're so grateful as we almost lost her over the weekend. We won't be home for awhile so I'll be posting and commenting sporadically.
Our best to you, too!
OH MY! That is an amazing tree with a heart! LOVE THE PHOTO! Children in the arms of a loving tree! TFS!

So lovely. I see the heart and it's one big awesome heart.
Happy GHT.
I see the heart! And yes, this tree is PERFECT for climbing :^)
