Rocky Mountain Juniper Semi-Cascade

Here are some pics from the first styling of a collected RMJ that I purchased last year from Larry Jackel in Aurora Colorado. It was collected in the fall of 2001 and spent the last 41/2 years adaping to life in 1.5 gallon nursery container. All the tree needed was a "jig" to hold it, some rebar and a collaborative effort with Marco Invernizzi and Charley Sisk from Arvada (I had the tree turned over....) . It actually now has a serious bend towads the viewer. Enjoy. John

He has a tremendous eye, this was one of the last trees worked on, the line fell together well. He works very, very well with others and is a real hands on teacher. I know Charley, my wife and myself learned a heck of a lot from him- we were able to do bonsai from 8AM to 8 or 8:30 PM for a week.

Awesome man, absolutely lovely. __________________ "Although profoundly "inconsequential," the Zen experience has consequences in the sense that it may be applied in any direction, to any conceivable human activity, and that wherever it is so applied it lends an unmistakable quality to the work." ~ Alan Watts (1915-1973) http://www.bonsaiswap.com/
