Something Green: Rock the Shot March Entry


March is almost over and April shower’s are just around the corner. As much as I like winter, I am ready to see some trees of green and red roses too. ;)

The folks over at Rock the Shot, www.rocktheshot.com, must feel the same way or they are excited about St Patrick’s Day, either way, the monthly contest is “Something Green”.

For my entry, I decided to throw back to a photo I took at Boone Hill Plantation in March of 2010. Sadly the gardens were not in full bloom in South Carolina in March, but the trees were awesome and they were the main reason that I wanted to visit the plantation. According to the tour guide, these particular oaks only grow in the south (makes this Ohioan sad), it takes 100 years to reach the size they are, and another 100 years to create the canopy. These trees have survived war and hurricanes. I recommend anyone travelling through Charleston, SC to consider spending some time at Boone Hill Plantation. Its beautiful and has a pretty spectacular history.
