Bonsai(in)autumn

Today the sun shine again finally and gave me a chance to make some nice photos of my bonsai in autumn colors.

Early snow

Yesterday we already had some snow, which covered the autumn colors for a moment.

A succesfull weekend in Austria

We all had a very succesfull weekend in lower Austria at the 8th exhibition of the local bonsai club. The atmosphere was just great. And the Slovenian trees got most of the prizes: Roland Petek recived a prize for the most interessting tree of the exhibition, Tomaž Kovšca got first prize in the category of the big bonsai and I got the first prize in the category of the mittle-sized bonsai and the award for the best tree declered by the public/visitors.
Look's like we are advancing foreward.





Adriano Bonini made a small landscape.





The awarded juniper off Tomaž.
My eastern hemlock (thuja): best tree declered by the public.

My three point display with the corean hornbeam - best mittle-sized bonsai.
Roland's awarded cascade.

Hans van Meer Demo

The second day Hans worked on my mugo pine for a demo. The photos tell the whole story I guess.
I'm very happy how the whole weekend turned out.

Workshop with Hans van Meer

At the workshop with Hans we saw a new approach to bonsai. Hans was thrilled abouth the quality of the trees and the knawlage we posess.
I worked on my half-cascading larix.










It just needs some final touches now.
