I'm always fascinated by how tiny plants can grow in the most hostile of environments, like on a large rock right by the water's edge.
Taken at Bronte Beach Park in Oakville, Ontario Canada on the shores of Lake Ontario.
This past summer, I had a small garden on our balcony, and in its heyday, it was a colorful reminder that a city doesn't need to be concrete and metal.
Now, well past fall, most of the garden has followed the natural order of things. That is, except this one flowering bush. Well, truth be told, the plant itself is struggling.. but this tiny little flower has been holding on for weeks. Unfortunately, we had a frost last night, followed by brilliant sunlight. I think we may be nearing the end for this tenacious little thing.
But, it's a spectacular way to go, don't you think?

I took this photo at the Toronto Zoo. It was an overcast day and the sky was gray. Because of this I changed the sky with a blue sky photo of mine, to bring some life to the image.

Teasing tentacles prying rock fisures apart. An age old poison ivy rootbase at an even older stone wall in the city of Kyllburg in the German Eifel.
One wonders where the living cambium ends and the rock itself begins.
I find these desert plants that grow out of rocks quite amazing. ...flickriver; www.flickriver.com/photos/45014657@N04/

Now that's a tree that has what it takes to survive! If you look closely, it has 4 large rocks in the roots, that were taken right from the rock face as it grew!
Rock-strewn shoreline of the Winnipeg River during a summer of unusually low water levels. Knife painting on cradled plywood panel (oil, 11x14 in, sold).
From my archives. Seen in the vicinity of Sedona AZ.
This tree and the smaller bits of vegetation are vivid examples of how plants will struggle to find a foothold in order to survive.
Spotted during an early morning walk in Chefchaouen Morocco. I'd love to go back in a few years and see that this little guy is thriving. I'm rooting for him. Pun intended.

Tenacious elderly Thai man gathering wood along the road near our village here in rural Thailand. 31/2 hours East of Bangkok if you use the high speed toll way. 8 miles from the ocean on a small tributary river called the Prasae River.
Students and I had just pulled in for our field trip and were in the process of unloading.
I held out my hand to help but he waved me off. He did keep a curious eye on us the whole time we were in the area doing research.
