Bonsai School Underway
Live shot from my club’s Bonsai School under way right now in my garage. Peter Snart in full flow.
Yellow Gingko
You’ve got to loove Gingko at this time of year 🙂
Rescue Maple Autumn Colour
First photo taken on 20th October, the next ones 7 days later.
Greenhouse Maple
I keep some maples under glass for most of the year. This one has been hanging on to it’s colour well as there’s no wind in there 🙂
Autumn Benches
I had a few friends down last night playing with trees. It was absolutely Baltic, the coldest night so far this Autumn. A few who came, were here for the first time. It was dark and my outside light is on the Fritz, so they didn’t get a change to see some of my benches. So these are for you Susan, David and Adrian.
New Talent
I kindly received the photos from the UK New Talent Competition held at Capel Manor a few weeks back.
Marcus Watts Winning tree.
and the Runner up Michael Poleviak’s tree.
Great colour on my friend Stephen’s Maple 🙂
This is my Maple just starting to get its autumn colour.
Every day it has been changing .
Now the tree is on fire.
It really brought a lot of colour to my garden this year!
Photo’s From Cavehill, Belfast
Some photos from my walk this morning up Cavehill over looking Belfast and Belfast Lough. A bit misty at the top and some mist floating around the docks giving it a spooky look just in time for Halloween approaching.
Three photos in one using photomerge. Click it for a bigger image on FlickR.
Belfast docks
Holywood, County Down peeking out of the morning mist
Had to laugh at this 🙂 Bonsai Baker down on his knees to get a decent shot, then …
Enter Smudge stage left who whipped him round the face with a wet tail on the way past 🙂 …
and the look of, ‘WTF’ on Stephen’s face 😀
Inspiration in an old Scottie
Why they call it cavehill
These two cavemen heading home! Spoke to them briefly on the way up. Both obviously high as kites from last night and have gone for a wander up the hill. They tried to pet my dogs who managed to give them a wide berth! [Yes Stephen, I’m taking credit for the cavemen joke 🙂 ]
Haws catching the sun.
Hooded Crows catching the thermals
McArts Fort with a misty top.
Spooky!!
About the only splash of colour
Maggie splashing in the puddles at the top
Looking over the flat top, I’m a shadow of my former self 😉
I said to Stephen, ‘Look a Chestnut Horse’. He said, ‘You mean a Horse Chestnut?’ Nope 🙂
Finishing on the down slope.
Capel Manor Exhibition Photos
Dan from the Enfield Bonsai Group kindly sent me some photos showing the trees exhibited at Capel Manor this weekend past. I had previously blogged the poster here to help get the word out. Happy to do this for any club event pretty much anywhere in the world as I seem to have viewers from everywhere! All photos also gratefully received.
