Evangeline Oak

Barbara took me by the Evangeline Oak, immortilized in a Longfellow poem of the same name. I found it ironic that Minnehaha Falls was named after Longfellow's Song of Hiawatha and now I find myself standing by a big oak tree with the same historical context.

Apparently, in the story, the hero or heroine stands by the tree waiting for their love to come. Hence, my contemplative pose! (Yes...I've washed my clothes since the other day.)
