My entry to Amazing Nature thematic challenge organized by 
ROOTS
Trees are connected to the earth by their enormous root system. While walking in the forest on the property, it was sad to see this tree had fallen over, with roots exposed, as a result when hurricane Dorian went through the area.
On the plus side smaller wildlife can use this upturned tree roots with the loosened earth to live in. I’ve see holes dug in these overturned trees where rabbits or foxes make a home.
This tree seems to hug the earth tightly with it’s roots that resemble large fingers. A bit of snow still on the ground.

It was after a rain I took this photo. The tree roots manage to navigate around the moss covered rock.
The large roots of this older tree are showing.
Trees are an important part of our existence. They fight to live and search for nutrition as their roots dig deeply into the earth.
Trees are amazing with their ability to clean the air, protect us from the heat of the sun, provide wood for heat, make a home for wildlife and much more.
Location: Prince Edward Island, Canada.
