Finding inspiration in nature.

Bonsaiwithromano

Yesterday I was very busy. Not with bonsai but busy helping my sister move. As I was driving I wondered what I will be bloging about today. I knew I would not get any work done on my trees today after the move. We loaded the truck twice and drove around for about three hours.

I took photos as I was driving and when I looked at these photos I decided to share them with you. In Cape Town the area where my sister is moving to there are a lot of gailforce winds and trees get forced to grow towards one side. In bonsai we call this style a windswept style.

This is something that we strive hard to achieve but I for one have not mastered this style as trees tend to grow in there own natural style.
