Club Night

Just back from another busy club night. Must have worked on 15 trees! It was great to see so many members so enthused by the Spring Display and the Bonsai School in recent weeks. I’ve made some great friends through bonsai and this circle has really grown in the last few months. I even appear to have adopted son!!!

What an infectious addiction bonsai is!! 🙂

For Peter…

… and the rest of you as well. 🙂

I had been chatting at the weekend about the photos my niece took during her family tour of America’s West Coast in May this year. Trees seem to have played a big part in their journey. Here are some of my favourites from her 2500+ snaps!!

My Bro 🙂

Tree Stump dance floor!!

My favourite, yamadori heaven

and Lisa, the photographer

 I think we can say she has got the hang of that camera 🙂 West Coast USA is now on my ‘to do’ list.

 

 

Caught in the Act!

The moss around my trees seems to magically disappear. Last night I spotted the culprit out of my window and got photographic evidence.

I was spotted and she opted to feed on the ground instead.

Two Scots Cascades

Here is my Scot’s Pine Cascade. Some will remember it from the repot photos back at the beginning of this blog. It was slow to extend but now appears happy.

And this is my mate Phil’s one. It was spending a bit of time in my tunnel to recover from a repotting. It’s now further on than my own.
