This cedar Tree that is growing from a giant ancient molten lava Rock on the shore of Lake Superior has always amazed me. I have no idea how this Tree is growing here or the fact that it has remained the same size for the last 100 years or so.

There are watercolor paintings of this rock going back into the 1800's and the Tree is the exact same size.

I have spent many summers playing on this rock, and pondering the incredible mysteries of Nature. My mom and my grandmother did also ... and now my kids too.  Life is an Incredible Mystery.  Enjoy.

She sure does..... This tree just wanted to grow there.   It's like the way dandelions will grow through the asphalt on the driveway while  I can't get a simple  herb or vegetable to grow in perfect TopSoil ???? Nature is just going to do whatever the hell she wants.

That is precisely what crossed my mind when I saw the photos.

And yes... she sure does have a mind of her own LOL!

Thats an amazing tree!!.. He choose a really beautiful place to stay indeed and must absolutely love the oceans ^^ .. It is quite fascinating that he is not growing a single bit in all the years, but I assume that this must be the perfect sice for the tree then , so exposed that he is that location.. That is such an astonishing sight ;)
