Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.

Harry Hirao collected this tree about 12 years ago, and donated it to the GSBF 2000 convention raffle. I very much want him to see where it is now, and tell him how much I appreciate his very generous donation. Mike __________________ Learning the mechanics of bonsai is a matter of rote.

I was suprised to see many online members with photos of their trees at the show. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl

Kind of an off angled picture of the entries. http://internetbonsaiclub.org/simpl...d,1189/catid,7/ Maybe somebody else knows a better place to see them. Skip
