  • Exposed roots from trees reach into the waters of Tenaya Creek in Yosemite National Park, California.

  • Several rocks are trapped in the roots of a dead tree that was submerged in Rattlesnake Lake near North Bend, Washington, for 100 years. The lake level dropped after most of the water was lost in a prolonged drought.

  • Thick moss grows to cover the exposed roots of a Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) tree in the moss garden of the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, Washington. The reserve's extensive moss garden is home to at least a dozen different species of moss.

  • A western red cedar (Thuja plicata) grows over and around boulders on a bluff near Pigeon Point, Bow, Washington. An American robin (Turdus migratorius) rests on one of the exposed roots.

  • Moss, ferns, and trees grow from a large rock outcropping near the Minister Valley in Allegheny National Forest in Warren, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny Front was once part of a vast delta and layers of a hard, sandstone congolomerate were deposited. Between 250 and 320 million years ago, the Allegheny Front was lifted, forming hills and mountains. Over time, erosion exposed, split, or dislodged and moved the former sedimentary rock, resulting in large rock outcroppings.

  • Dead lodgepole pine trees cast shadows on the snow covering the Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Lodgepole pine trees have a very shallow root system that extends sideways, allowing them to grow in Yellowstone where there is only a thin layer of topsoil that contains few nutrients. These snags, however, are near an active hydrothermal area and they soaked up mineral-laden water.

  • A cluster of Giant Sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) known as The House grow together in Sequoia National Park, California. Giant Sequoias are the world's largest trees in terms of total volume, with the largest trees reaching 311 feet (95 meters) in height and more than 56 feet (17 meters) in diameter. The oldest Giant Sequoias are more than 3,000 years old. Sequoias are unique in that they can grow close together, sharing root systems, to get the water they need.

  • Four giant sequoia trees known as the Bachelor and the Three Graces stand in the Mariposa Grove of Yosemite National Park, California. Sequoias can grow very close together because they share root systems.

  • An Hawaiian stilt (Himantopus knudseni), also known as an Ae'o, is reflected in the water of the Kanaha Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Wailuku on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The Hawaiian stilt is considered endangered, with fewer than 1,500 currently found in the Hawaiian islands. It feeds on the larvae of dragon flies, small fish, worms, crabs, water insects, and the seeds and roots of water plants.

  • A small creek in Longmire Meadow in Mt. Rainier National Park flows under and shapes the icicles growing on exposed tree roots and low branches.

  • Snags rise above the frozen surface of Earthquake Lake in the Gallatin National Forest in Montana. The lake, located west of Yellowstone, was formed in 1959 after a magnitude 7.3 earthquake triggered an 80-million ton landslide, damming the Madison River. The snags here are trees that perished when their roots were flooded.

  • Roots from an old tree, submerged for 100 years in Rattlesnake Lake near North Bend, Washington, reach out of the cracking mud exposed after a prolonged drought.

  • Fragrant water lilies (Nymphaea odorata) grow up from the bottom of Lake Washington in this underwater view from the wetlands of the Washington Park Arboretum, Seattle, Washington. The fragrant water lily's leaves float on the water surface and the plant itself is rooted in mucky or silty sediment up to six to seven feet (2 meters) deep.

  • A flock of white ibis fly over several mangrove trees growing in the water along the Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park, Florida. Mangroves are native to the Florida coast and are able to remove salt from water, either blocking it in their roots or secreting excess salt through their leaves.
