My Favorite Place
Caught this candid shot of the Moody's just before my workshops started down there last time. Sort of the calm before the storm.
Half an hour later the place was mobbed.
Jim Moody's is on the right, his grandson, Allan, in the middle and Carolyn, his daughter, on the left
But if one looks at the background you can see why I love going to Jupiter Bonsai so much. The Florida weather is great, the trees are spectacular and the Moody's are just plain nice people.
Of all the bonsai places I go I like this the best. I feel at home and hate to leave.
I could tell many good stories about the place and all the good people that I have met there. I have learned a lot of things visiting there but mostly I have learned to relax and just plain enjoy bonsai and bonsai people.
The reason that I have shared this bit of information with you is one hardly ever hears anything nice about a bonsai nursery. We talk about the deals, good or bad stock, but that is about it. But seldom do you hear what a neat place it can be. How nice the owners are.
So I thought I would tell you about my favorite place and hope that you will tell me something about yours.
