The way the sun is shining through the tree is so beautiful. And the tree looks like it is reaching down for a drink. I feel like I should be sitting under the tree with a good book on a hot summer day. Way to go.
I'm embarassed to say that I lived not 10 miles from Mepkin Abbey (in Cordesville, SC) and I've never been there to see how beautiful it is. You really do SC justice with your photos. This photo is beautiful and graceful. Thanks for sharing!
