27 April Boone hall plantation


We contiune our journey with a trip to Boone hall plantation


The only slave street left in the States.
Boone Hall is today one of America's oldest working, living plantations.
This plantation was the settings for North and South- my favourite Tv series, The notebook- movie, Days of our lives - tv series...I recognize the settings from North and South with Patrick Swayze and James Reed.


Live oak trees with spanish moss

Spanish moss - airplants - member of the pineapple family. You can only see it here in the South. The plant is not parasitic, it can sometimes damage the host tree by over-shading the leaves, thus reducing photosynthesis, or by weighing down and breaking the branches. Other than that it´s harmless for the tree. I think it gives the tree a romantic ghostly aura.
