Thanks Dave, I really liked the rosy colors in this rock formation with a lot of mica veins in it.
The tree seemed to be flourishing. So odd how life goes on under the hardest of conditions.
Be well my friend, Stan

Amazing how this happens, and you've caught it very well, Stan! I like the contrast between the rocks and the colour and texture of the tree.
Dave.

Thanks Brigitte, there are many of these trees around where I live with all the rock formations. This one was so nice and healthy that it caught my eye. Glad you got to see some as well. Glad you got some time in the Sierra's, a great place to spend time!!
Be well, Stan

Hi Saad, thanks for the comment and the history. This was one of the many small trees around the rock in my area. Most of the rock formations are Granite or Gneiss, a form of granite. The rock slowly decays with the wind, water, ice and extreme temperature changes common in Montana. This deterioration affords small areas for seeds to collect and possibly grow. The tree pictured was about 18 inches or 45cm in height. It was so nicely formed and health that it caught my eye. So glad for your comment and info as well.
Be well and let me know when you post the sister to this one. Thanks Stan

Very interesting information, Saad. I didn't know that is how it was discovered but it makes sense. I do know today they trim the roots regularly to keep plants in their small Bonsai shapes.

Stan this is so simple and so beautiful. I like your about too. I have always been amazed at the determination of Mother Nature. I saw many of these trees inbetween rock cracks while up in the High Sierra's this past couple weeks.

Hi dear Stan,I have her sister waiting to be posted,
this is how the old China people and some says Japanese,about 2000 year ago,discovered Bonsai,it is a natures invention.the man only transport it to a container,where he tight up its needs,imitating the very low nourishments that the plant faces high in the mountains,my very best regards,
Saad.
