a small oasis...

Jenny Lake, Grand Teton National Park

Would you guess I was sitting on a large boulder in the middle of a river?  Two boulders were sandwiching a small amount of earth between, allowing for this tree and some small vegitation to survive there, and to not get washed away.  Another amazing thing about this spot is how different it looked from the other side.  The roots were a bit exposed and moss covered the rocks.  Though the river was rushing so fast around this oasis, I couldn't help but wonder how may small creatures call it home...
