Rip Van Winkle

Bald Cypresses and Spanish Moss, Magnolia Gardens, Charleston, SC

Wispy clusters of Spanish Moss dangle from a row of bald cypresses reflected in a garden pond. You can see why this mossy epiphyte is sometimes called "old man's beard". I hope if I ever live to be ancient, that I can grow such a beard...

 like Rip Van Winkle.
