Live Oaks (Quercus virginiana)

The fern growing on them is called Resurrection fern. When the weather is dry the fern turns brown and as soon as the rains come the ferns sit up and turn green. It does not harm the tree.

That explains the "dead" ferns on the trees at Longfellow-Evangeline.
Good shot, glad to see they are recovering.
