Bur Oak

One time someone asked me what tree best represents me. I surprised myself by coming up with a quick response, "Bur oak, because they are big and reliable, like me!"

I was working in Missouri last month and I paid a visit to one of the largest bur oaks in the United States. It is listed in the National Register of Big Trees.


Enjoy!

I love you angle when you get the close up of the bark and shoot up! The texture makes me want to touch the picture.

Thanks for checking out my blog! Abnormal Outdoors is my brothers blog, I am pretty interested to hear some of the stories he comes up with.

Bur oaks are my favorite tree because they get so big an gnarly!
