One of my favorite things to do in Savannah is to walk through the historic squares. Another delight is when passing a particular live oak in Monterey Square.

Why this tree? It has become nature’s living billboard! There is a cave-like hollow knot in this tree and an anonymous person or persons (daily or weekly, unknown to me) place cryptic messages by way of objects in the hollow’s cavity. The objects seem random at times and written phrases are not always present.

Extra! Extra! Come one, come all! See the message found in a tree!

Sometimes the items change daily but I’m not sure because my walks through downtown can be quite random.

I love walking in the direction of Monterey Square and seeing people peering at the tree’s “news” content.

I hope we all get the message and are somehow encouraged, challenged or changed!


See you next post!
