And nobody knows, tiddly pom......


Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital, Charleston, SC

It's cold outside, kids! The hibiscus plants look like swaying ghosts wrapped in my old white bed sheets, the geraniums are in off the porch and the taps are dripping.

I am guessing no one else has this Charleston picture (except me, me, me!), although there are rumors we might see a few snowflakes tonight. We don't often see one of our grand live oaks covered in snow and it was a beautiful sight. I took the picture almost ten years ago.

Altogether now, in the voice of Winnie the Poo:

(Tiddly Pom)
The more it goes
(Tiddly Pom)
The more it goes
(Tiddly Pom)
On snowing.

And nobody knows
(Tiddly Pom)
How cold my toes
(Tiddly Pom)
How cold my toes
(Tiddly Pom)
Are growing.

The more it snows
(Tiddly Pom)
The more it goes
(Tiddly Pom)
The more it goes
(Tiddly Pom)
On snowing.

And nobody knows
(Tiddly Pom)
How gold my toes
(Tiddly Pom)
How cold my toes
(Tiddly Pom)
Are growing.

It's definitely a keeper! Is it possible for you to put on your warmest and snap a current photo of this majestic live oak? Pretty please?

When I first saw the title of this post, I thought it said "tiddly porn"... shows where my mind is!

Come by my blog and see my winter pics (if you haven't lurked already). 8-)

PJ - As a matter of fact I have photos of this particular tree in almost every season. Stay tuned.

Marcheline - you place looks like a fairy tale.

Gosh, I am sick of snow. That must have been a pretty sight in real life, because it sure makes a pretty picture.

That's a most beautiful tree. Great photo. And I'm sure it's beautiful in other seasons too.
