Spent a wonderful day at the Swindon Winter image show on the 19th of February 2012. The work that goes into this one day show is phenomenal and a huge thanks to the Swindon club for all their hard work. The standard of the trees was out of this world and mainly deciduous native trees. Right up my street. First up, a Juniper
First of many great Blackthorns

Hi Will,
ReplyDeleteI saw that first Juniper and realised that i had seen it before. I went through my photos and found a picture of it from 2006 in Japan. Send me an email Nichigobonsai(at sign)gmail.com and i can send you through the pic and give you some more information.

ReplyDeleteRegards!!
I don't practice Bonsai.
ReplyDeleteBut your trees and images of them are mesmerising!
Thank you very much. Bonsai is a very spiritual art form and extremely satisfying for me and many others.
