I love Bonsai, mine is nothing special, except to me, but for the focus challenge in 5wksinmay I decided to focus on what I love
..and the tree must look as if you never even touched it. "As if it grew out of wind and sun
and time, pelting rain and soft mist, dark nights and silent owls wings." - Joanie
Bonsai art is the display of a landscape -- without the landscape. - Nobu Kajiwara
To develop a fine Bonsai collection, make one hundred and keep two or three. - Nobu Kajiwara
Bonsai is an artistic representation of a natural tree. It is an image, an illusion of nature. It is
smoke and mirrors that defies the senses. The best bonsai are magicians' tricks that have
fooled the eye into seeing a far off place in the distant past, or the side of a craggy cliff. We
all have to strive to be the magician. - Al Keppler
I love the shadows and lighting, Dixie! What a gorgeous pov. These are not easy to grow and love those quotes. I tried to keep one alive once. Did not work out. But I greatly admilre the Bonsai tree .... they are lovely and so captivating ...like Keppler said.
