What a terrible job Hans. If you want me to take over for a while and give you a break I suppose I could. Any chance of a close up of that tree? It looks great.

It is not the best picture in the world, but it gives you a rough idea of the tree. I will make some better ones tomorrow. It is a Yamadori Larch by the way, I collected in Austria some years ago. This was it's second styling.
Hans.

Heel goede baan Hans! Ik zal naar Nederland spoedig komen en zal uw verzameling ooit zien. Ik moet mijn Nederlandse hertiage bezoeken. Droevig indien mijn Nederlands niet heel goed is, leer ik.

Take care,

Matt Ouwinga

Hans,

Tell us a little more about having a job in bonsai.
What exactly does that entail?
What is a typical week like? Or, year for that matter?
How did you turn your hobby into a job? Or, is that how it happened?


Green with envy,
Myrtle

Yup, I'd say that is a real rough job!
Hubby and I did that today as well~!
Potted for the first time a mamoth Crape Myrtle, and 2 Varigated Vitex....
Can I get a massage?

Its not the tree thats ugly. If you still have to wear so many clothes, that sun can't be that warm.
So Get back to work so you can warm up.
