Winter Wonderland

Today was just about as cold I want to experience for a while. The wind filled with wet snow made it doubly nasty! The snow only lay on high ground thank goodness. Here are two photos I took on my travels today.

Knockagh Monument Carrickfergus.

and sun setting behind Cavehill.

It would appear that my request for warmer weather will not be granted. More snow forecast.

Trident Maple Winter Image

I finally managed to grab a few quick photos of my Trident Maple today. As expected it requires some work on the branch structure after a years growth. It was pruned back during the year but you don’t get to see the structure until now. I will do this in the Spring.

Taikan-ten 2011 Photos

I trawl the net everyday looking for decent bonsai related stuff. Facebook, websites, blogs, forums, etc. all get a look. When I find something of interest to me, I like to share a link to it here.

This is link to Peter Tea’s blog where he has posted some very nice, and rare, shots from Taikan Ten 2011. Photography is limited at the show and most of the photos here show trees in various areas while the staging and judging is taking place. I actually find this very interesting in itself. We never get to see how they judge these shows.
