I only pop in once in a while and today I'll be the one to stir the pot a bit.

It seems to me that many people in the bonsai community follow what's been done because that's the way it's always been done.

I actually like the direction he has taken with these it is out of the ordinaray but not beyond the possiblity of capturing the illusion he's created. I personally find them all fascinating and would love to have an afternoon gazing upon them. I can only imagine where my imagination would lead me.

If you consider some of the wonderful bonsai art created by some artists who render common juniper material to take on the illustion of a fifty or seventy five foot tree you will quickly realize that your paradime doesn't work for it either since Juniper's will never grow to be fifty or seventy-five feet tall. but wouldn't you agree it is still beautiful and lovely.

Thank you Karl, you have definitly challenged us to maybe reconsider what we may or may not value. Keep up the good work.!!!!!
