Show Set Up Day Two
Last night saw up back up at the Centre finishing off the backdrop framing and getting the cloth on. What a difference cloth makes and a backdrop is so important to see the trees at their best.
I took a few snaps during the evening just to prove who was doing the work. As you will see, Phil the Fingers was in action. A few trees went up with us, dirty pots and all. They will be cleaned up tonight during staging. Tree shots aren’t great as the light was poor, better to follow over the weekend.

Not the finalposition for these two but nice all the same.
Show Set Up Day One
Last night saw us starting to get the club show set up. We had to collect the stands from one side of Belfast and transport them over to the venue at the other side. Easy? No! Not when there is a bad accident on the motorway!! This is Phil’s van loaded with the stands stuck on the motorway. Yes I used my mobile in the car, but we hadn’t moved in about 30 minutes at this point!
We did however eventually make it to Hillside Nursery Centre where some more helping hands appeared and we managed to get more done than we expected. We got there to find the space not yet cleared and we had to lend a hand to get things moved.

To Me, To Me 🙂
Starting to take shape.
As straight as a dog’s hind leg Adrian 🙂
Two more nights of this and we’ll be ready for the public !
Bonsai Days Munakata Exhibition
I’ve linked to this blog before but I’m doing it again. Not often we have the pleasure of a blog from Japan written in English.
This is the bonsai Days Blog showing two posts with trees presented at Munakata Exhibition.
My favourite is this Pine. Enjoy.
EBA 2013 Links
Been perusing the net trying to find photos from the EBA Exhibition in Audincourt France. If I find any more I link them as well as it looks like a great exhibition with that usual European tilt. Looks like the French Federation of Bonsai have done themselves proud.
