Phil allowed me to leave the exhibition marquee for a few minutes on Sunday and I managed to snap a few quick photos of the Birds of Prey that were on display within the campus grounds. Here are a few shots. Stunning birds, although they look a little bored!
Posting this photo especially for Ben, who has left us to cope with the crowds on our own. Come back mate, we need you lol
It’s been a long day at our club exhibition. Met some great people, caught up with some old friends and spent time with a great bunch of chaps, even those who give me abuse about blogging! 🙂
It was a wet day but by mid afternoon we had a pretty good crowd moving through the marquee. Some other other interesting events taking place too. This was my first time watching a Pig Race!
Some great looking Beagles
The pig race, Makin Bacon won!
The gardens
The gold star of the day goes to John who stood out in the rain under a tree passing out cards and getting folk to venture into the marquee to see the trees. A bit of a grim reaper 🙂
Brendan posing
and I have absolutely no idea what these two plonkers are doing!!
Still raining but crowd starting to build.
Managed to transport a few trees to the Club exhibition tonight.
All ready for tomorrow.
Hoping to post live from the show tomorrow via mobile, I can only hope that the rain has run out by then!!
Just about as comprehensive a post on defoliating Trident maples as you’ll find. Thanks Peter.
I spent last night setting up the stands for our clubs forthcoming exhibition this weekend.
Stands had to be collected from storage.
and then unloaded again at the other end.
Some who always complain about my camera time, were hard to find when the unloading was taking place. That fake call App on his phone worked a treat 😛 🙂
Building the stands, starting to take shape.
I dread to think what’s going on here
Cloth makes a big difference
Ready for the bonsai later in the week.
I felt compelled to make this the post of the day as I just had to share a photo of Peter Warren with a beard 🙂 I guess it grew out on his road trip!
I look forward to seeing more photos and perhaps video from this exhibition.
Found these on a Japanese Blog and the blog owner has kindly let me share the best of the pics here. I have added a general link for the blog at the bottom and on my favourite blog list on my side panel if you want to follow. I will say that Google Translate leaves a lot to be desired when dealing with Japanese but it is well worth following it to see some lovely Shohin Bonsai!
