Santa eve.

A little on the cold side this morning.

A bit of frost.

Boulevard Cypress.

As you can see the trees are still out on the benches, enjoying the sunshine.

Bonsai Thursday.

Today we just did a little more cleaning on the deadwood on this Juniper and had plenty of coffee.

--------------------------------------------

I also had a play with the camera, 

this snap with the flash on.

This one without the flash.

Bonsai Wednesday.

This afternoon I had a little play around with some of the slate I was gifted earlier this week.

---------------------------------------------------

Looks quite good for now, but I may change it about when the weather warms up.

As there were no trees to do tonight, I did a little more work on the deadwood of this Juniper.

More bits to play with.

I have been given some more bits and pieces to play with.

--------------------------------------------

These bits of driftwood.

Some very nice slate.

Just a little bit.

To some people just a pile of slate and driftwood, but to me I see inspiration for the future.

Natter night 17th December 2018.

It was nice to have my natter night once more after canceling last week because of illness, { much better now thanks }

------------------------------------------------------

Graham brought two trees to have the wire removed.

First one a nice Larch.

Which he and Boxy got to work on.

Ken brought this Scots pine for me to fix back into it's pot, after it had been blown over in a storm last week.

Or was it a Santa pine ?

We did have a visit off the real Santa though.

This Tanuki juniper was also dewired.

Once again a good night's work and a lot of fun as well.

Bonsai Thursday.

After being under the weather for about a week now, I am at last starting to feel a bit more normal,so today when Dave came over I did a little more work on this Itoigawa juniper.

-------------------------------------------------

This is before any work was done.

Today, looking much better.

This will do for now, a nice basic image.

Bonsai Thursday.

I carried on where I left off last night, wiring the Itoigawa juniper and with some input from Dave, I now know where it is going.

-----------------------------------------------

Some branches were removed and some Jin created.

I may add more wire later.
