Expedition: Rowan Oak

This sequence was taken from a little morning hike we did with the Oxford Mom and Tots group :). Ms. Katie Boyle was our fearless (environmentally aware) guide! The hike was through William Faulkner's property, which he named Rowan Oak after the Roman mythological legend of this oak.

Whose woods these are 

I think I know.

The woods are lovely,

dark and deep

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go

Before I sleep!

(I took excerpts from Robert Frost's poem for the captions above :))

This Solitary Tree! a living thing

Produced too slowly ever to decay;

Of form and aspect too magnificent to be destroyed.

... well almost ;)

William Wordsworth

"This solitary Tree! a living thing
Produced too slowly ever to decay;
Of form and aspect too magnificent
To be destroyed."
