The Tree Spirits of St. Simons Island |
|
Integrated into the many
folklore legends of St. Simons Island are the tree spirits. These
sorrowful faces are the creations of sculptor Keith Jennings. He was
commissioned to immortalize the numerous sailors who lost their lives at
sea aboard the mighty sailing ships that were made from St. Simons oak.
He also carved several Indian faces. |

 |
The oaks, which display
these faces, seem to reflect their sad expressions with their drooping
limbs and hanging Spanish moss. Follow the trail of the tree spirits and
let your imagination take you back to another time. |
