Glenwood Cemetery
I had today off, so I grabbed my camera and went looking for something interesting.
I wandered around Glenwood Cemetery for a few hours.
A lot of big Houston names are resting here:
George R Brown
George Hermann
William P Hobby
Howard Hughes
F A Rice
John L Wortham
If you pay attention, you will notice these names on a Houston airport, a university, and a bunch of other buildings.
And I love that tree.

Thanks for posting. That is an amazing tree. What kind is it? Oak?
I try to spend a lot of time outdoors, but I can't identify trees at all. I haven't ever paid enough attention.
Jenny thinks it is closely related to the Whomping Willow from the Harry Potter series.
It is a live oak:
"The Live Oak Allée that lines Houston’s Main Street represents a comprehensive vision of how a well-developed, civic landscape plan can survive despite nearly 100 years of change and development"

Mary says it's the Tree of Life.
Tree of Life and Live Oak is pretty close don't you think? :-)
