I find this tree that is located on the banks of the Mississippi and heavily eroded by the water quite beautiful. It reminds me of another tree which is the banner used by Annie of Little Rock. Both trees survive despite being buffeted by other elements of nature. Humans, too, are often buffeted by elements that we cannot control, and how we survive sometimes is a miracle of nature.

cette racine d'arbre est superbe, on dirait une sculpture.
this root of tree is superb, one would say a sculpture.

Nature never ceases to amaze and entertain! Great photo!
Very beautiful. I also love the photo and the story about the farmer's market and the man waiting for his wife with flowers in his hand!!
a beautiful sculture
I always wonder how the tree hold upright
A great picture and a thoughtful piece, kate. i like the black and white treatment.
I also wondered, I cliked on Kate, but thought I found Annie's tree! Amazing! I wonder how old these trees may be?
I thought it interesting that the roots are harboring something tiny beginning to grow. In green.

Beautiful! A nature's sculpture!
wow this is very impressive. A large tree like this look so powerful and proud!
...nature always finds a way...
So beautiful, as is Annie's. What species of tree is this, Kate? Do take a photograph of the top of the tree. Or perhaps you already have?
If that tree could talk, imagine the stories it would tell! Beautiful shot Kate!
Beautiful photo, beautiful words.
That tree has some interesting roots.
We have some beautiful trees like that here in the city park. Like Abraham, I noticed the little green plant poking up in that maze :)
Wonderful picture. It reminds me of a tree called baobab from Anotoine de Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince".
Thank you for a great post.
I LOVE this kind of photo!
This reminded me of Annie's banner too - beautiful photo.
Showing it's age Kate. Nice textures

I wonder how old this tree is. Great photo Kate. I like it.
Yes, I'd like to be like this tree: strong, rooted, and emotionally resilient, that's the goal anyway.
