Tappahannock Oak IV - Selfie(-esque)

The Missus and I are spending a couple days in Tappahannock to see some of the sights around this quaint little town, including a visit to a National Wildlife Refuge tomorrow.

One of the things I also planned was another in the T.O. series, this time with me in the picture to give a better idea how big this tree really is. I set up my camera on its tripod, made sure the settings were dialed in, and asked my able assistant to press the shutter button when I got into position - which is why the title says 'Selfie(-esque)'.

For reference, I am that brown, red, and khaki thing to the left of the tree. I am 5'8" / 173cm tall.

In my last shot of the T.O. (about 2 1/2 weeks ago) I wondered if it would give up the leaves it still had or if it would cling to them until spring, as some oaks do. Well, question answered.

The other shots in this series are at Tappahannock Oak

Nice selfie to give perspective!

Yes, I can see you! I doubt if I could pick you out in a line-up though!

Such a terrific tree.
