 The Wonder of Roots: Part 2

   September 12, 2022


    Black Rock Mountain 7

   Photographer:  Ray Major
   Summary Author:  Ray Major
   While hiking  Black Rock Mountain State Park, Georgia, I took a side
   trail that led to a boulder pile, where serendipitously I discovered
   this unusual tree. This is what can happen when a tree sprouts on top
   of a decaying stump. The stump continued to  rot away, leaving the
   tree standing on its  roots. Photo taken on May 13, 2022.
