Don't you just love banyan trees? My brother was visiting with me this past week and I took him over to Boca Grande to go to the lighthouse beach. It promply rained on us as soon as we arrived, but I took him to my favorite place there called Banyan Street to catch a look at the trees.
I suppose they are terribly invasive when they begin to eat your house...but you gotta love them.

I *do* love banyan trees....India is the home of them. There's a few favorites of mine around here....nice post, Char....xo
Yes, they're gorgeous and spooky looking...almost human-like in the way they grow. Beautiful pics!
Those are so cool! I havent seen any where I live (pacific northwest)
It is not very (environmentally) friendly for a tree to eat a house.
Yes, love 'em. They have so much movement! Love lighthouses too!
so beautiful
They are gorgeous! I wish they liked it up in this part of FL but I guess it gets too cold for them here.
I am a great lover of trees (*whispers* yes I do have a habit of hugging them) and I am loving these pictures, you. Very huggable these trees seem.
Braja~Thanks. I read somewhere that the largest banyan tree covers some 14 acres. I think it was in Africa (or maybe India)?
Beth~They are a bit spooky.
Nancy~Nope, don't think you have the weather for them.
Mo~Ha, guess not...you have to cut the hanging roots to prevent it.
Wine/words~Me too!
Oct~Thanks!
S Mamma~Thanks for stopping by here.
Sarah~they are a little large for hugging.
