This time I did absolutely no lifting, other than the camera 🙂

My New Addition

This weekend I added this Root Over Rock Trident Maple to my Collection. I love working with Tridents and have always loved the root over rock ones that I’ve seen. I spotted this tree at Willowbog Bonsai a few weeks ago and Peter brought it over to NI for me on Friday. It has an interesting rock with a little pool area holding water and it looks like pretty decent ramification. Looking forward to seeing it bare in a few weeks time.

Full House, or Should I Say Garage!

This was my garage today during a club Bonsai School. Once I get time to draw breath I’ll post more photos!

Neighbours weren’t too impressed with the parking either!! 🙂

All Set

Spent a few hours with Stephen yesterday sorting out my garage to get ready for the Willowbog Bonsai School that’s being held this weekend. I wish I could have a garage full of crap like everybody else instead of this constant clearing out cycle. Had a laugh with Stephen as I kept throwing stuff up into the rafters and hiding crap under cloth covered tables. I love it really.

You can just see the wheels of the lawnmower under the cloth 😀 It’s sitting beside the kitchen sink!!

Flag Counter

Some of you may have noticed that I added the flag counter widget to the blog. I spotted it on the Bonsai Ireland Site a week ago and thought it looked like fun. Clicking on the widget gives you further details on the countries that have visited.

I’m amazed that I’m showing over 40 countries and I’m even up to 20 of the 51 states in America as well. As expected, English speaking countries feature highly, obviously the UK is the highest. Portugal is way up there too, but that’s due to Rodrigo’s Kintall Bonsai blog link. Cheers mate 🙂 Strangely, I have only one hit from the Republic of Ireland! I’ve had twice as many hits from Bangladesh,Go figure?!

It’s all a bit of fun, it’s free and adds an extra bit of enjoyment to blogging.

EBA 2011

I have been wading through the internet trying to find the best and most complete set of photographs from the EBA 2011 Exhibition in Germany. After finding bits here and bits there, I should have known that Water Pall would have a fully comprehensive set of Photographs. To see all the trees, all the demos, even the trade stands, click on the image below.

I was told by Peter Warren to look out for a Potentilla in the exhibition. When I saw the cascade one I fell in love. Then, on seeing Walters Photos I saw the other one and was blown away!! A really nice cascade Juniper in there too.
