Autumn showing its first colors

Autumn has come to my garden as well. All decidious trees are rapidly changing their colors, and my 'arakawa' japaneese maple the most.

Progetto futuro I. - Second day

Today things turned. The ones who had just wached yesterday, worked today and vice versa.


I worked on a Juniperus communis 'alpina' which I got in the Netherlands.




And a group photo withouth the teachers who were needed to make theese photos :D

Progetto futuro I. - First day

Progetto futuro is a wel known Italian bonsai school, that has it's new branch now also in Slovenia. This weelend we had our first classes.
The quallity of work was once again very good and the company great. The first day I was only a spectator.



Still early in the morning.

Warsaw

Man it's far... Almost 1200 kilometers. A good thing there was good company and OK music, so time past quickly.
Tomaz and I spend the weekend in Poland, where we attended their exhibition.



This is how the Polish make their bonsai.


The exhibition was pretty good too, with nice bonsai. Four of them were Slowene.


The attention of media was present too.



up: Piotr Czernichowski looking at my chineese juniper - he liked it =D
below: The best bonsai by my opinion was Piotr's larch.



We devoted some time to take a look at Marek Gajda's bonsai nursery - sadly we had not enough time for a thorough review.

Tomaz's sunday demo with me assisting.


These Polish (and Czech and Dutch) are realy great for companny. You can talk with them abouth bonsai for an iternitty and you could still talk. It just doesn't get boring
Warsaw, maby I shall see you again someday.

Crespi Cup 2010

Two years have yet again past and it was time for the Crespi cup in Milan again. The bonsai center of the Crespi family hosts very beutifull bonsai every two years.


The exhibition was, as allways awsome. You get to see bonsai which you know from previous exhibitions elswhere in Europe, bonsai you could before only admire in bonsai magazines and totally unknown bonsai that are anyway masterpieces.








The exhibited shohin trees were, in comparison to the past years, on an at least three levels higher level.



Masterpiece from magazins. When it stends in front of you, you see it really is a monster.


Sadly we had extreamly bed weather. It was pouring cats and dogs.




See you in two years.
