Aspen in a Crack

This stunted Aspen on the shore of Lake Ontario is probably decades old. It has survived clinging tenaciously to a crack on the exposed bedrock shore of West Point in Sandbanks Provincial Park. This shore is regularily pounded by ferocious waves during the violent storms on the lake, and are scoured each winter by ice floes. It is a miracle of nature that this little tree has survived under such adverse conditions!
