Sunset through the roots of a tree, at Wendy Park.

Oak Grove, Hershey Gardens, Hershey, Pennsylvania. When approached to sponsor a national rosarium in Washington, D.C., Milton S. Hershey instead decided to create a garden in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he and the community could enjoy it. Hershey Gardens began with Mr. Hershey's simple request to "create a nice garden of roses." The original 3 1/2-acre rose garden opened to the public in 1937. By 1942, the garden expanded to a 23-acre botanical garden, featuring a spectacular assortment of flowers and shrubs and a stately collection of signature trees.

Connected to the Earth, connected to the sky. The intricate network of connections, growing, thriving, dying, creating unique pathways from journeys beginning to end.

The roots on some of these trees are enormous. Bearing in mind that I am enormous this shows the scale well

Dieser Baum hat mich schon sehr lange fasziniert, aber so recht in Szene setzen konnte ich ihn nie.. bis vor ein paar Wochen etwas Schnee fiel..

I enjoyed seeing the mossy exposed root system of this tree like spider legs. Shot at Top Bridge Regional Park near Parksville, BC on Vancouver Island.

The last moment of light and the winter grasses look as if it were still Autumn. Brilliantly lit by the sun's final rays they appear to be burning orange while the foreground root is now looked in a base of ice

“Trees teach us to stay rooted while soaring to great heights.” - Kaylee Brzezinski

The trees we find along the Bruce Trail have incredible root systems that often cling onto mainly rock. Some of them are as old as 300-400 years old. It is a wonder how they hang on and survive many storms. This tree is not quite that old and it leans over the river that flows over one of our local waterfalls. The root system is still very impressive. We all need to help each other stay rooted. Have a great weekend.

To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.

~ Simone Weil

The roots of these Red Cedars extend down into a pile of ballast stones discarded by shipping fleets that visited Amelia Island in the 1800's.

I am fascinated by Banyan tree roots. They form such interesting shapes... Living sculpture!

I love roots of old trees, the more roots the better. Twisted roots look like long fingers growing upward from the ground.
