Tea Circle Oak
Image
A dusting of snow highlights the structure of a spreading oak in the courtyard of Frank Lloyd Wright's home, Taliesin, seen in the background. A large bronze bell is hanging from the lowest limb of the tree, and there is a stone lantern to the right. There are stone steps and a stone wall in the foreground. This tree was known as the second tea circle oak, after the first, located nearby, was destroyed by lightning. The tree in this photograph was toppled by strong winds June 18, 1998, falling onto the roof of Wright's studio.
1965
