The Keppler Collection

Just can't stay away from that camera.

Distant Mountain Stone. My first stone is a Eel River stone collected by Ron Kelly. 12"long and 6" high.

A waterfall stone. This is a stone that Ripsgreentree collects in southern Oregon. He brings this stuff back in a U-Haul.

Figure stone. I call this "The Dragon's Head". I feel it depicts a head, complete with nose horn and nostrall holes

Distant Mountain Stone. "Morro Rock". This reminds me of the famous landmark in Morro Bay, California. I dove for this stone at jade cove in San Simion, Cal.

Distant Mountain Stone. "the Foot". I traded the owner of the bonsai nursery the bottom of my waterfall stone for this beauty from Japan. He picked it up there a few years back.

This is a Distant Mountain scene. I feel it depicts a rugged mountain canyon such as those in Canyon de Chili, in Arizona

This is a stone I bought at the CBS show in southern Cal, in April. This stone will be the subject of a pictorial on dai making soon. I will show you step by step how I do it.

A Distant Plateau Stone. This stone is from the Lake Hill region of Death Valley. It is illegal to collect there now due incorporation with the National Park.


I hope you enjoyed the show, as much as I have
bringing it to you, Bonsaial
