For a smile as wide as a country sunrise

Good morning everyone! Well, nature’s beauty can be found in different places and in oddities found. Such as these roots of this large old pine tree digging into the ground like giant claws. The tree is sitting right on the granite rock with just a single layer of pine needles covering the rock. So the roots have to go in search of moisture and soil in order to hold that big tree upright. There are a number of trees like that along the trail to the river, it is really quite a common sight around here. This one is quite a bit off the trail. Have a wonderful Sunday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Steve, good morning!!! Itβs so fascinating to see how trees can still stand upright in those conditions without toppling to the ground! Roots are so important. It sure does teach a lesson to us on how important being rooted and grounded is in our own personal lives. Hope you have a great Sunday! βοΈ βοΈ π³π²

Yes, it is a great lesson for us indeed. I used that example when I used to teach the kids in my Sunday school class. And we most definitely need our lives rooted in Christ. God bless Renee! ππΊββπ³π²

Beauty is everywhere, Like the Pine tree. Some finds it in the empty sky with patchy clouds and some finds on beautiful Earth.
