New Year's Morning
We rarely have snow on new year's day, but this year did.
I made a snowcat for my son.

Japanese white pine for the exhibition
I have to admit I bought this tree on Oct.2012... just 1 month before the exhibition.
Basically I don't like talking about prices, but let me tell you this one. I purchased it at a nursery, which was in the miscellaneous bargain area with no price tag. So I asked a staff, he offed to his boss back to me saying, "2500yen". Made a swift decision, of course.
The orange circled foliage is not neccesary. That's too much.
I also picked out the old needles. Looks much better now, dosen't it?
Back style. My husband suggested that I'd better make a jin with the cut branch. To be honest, he did this part.
My husband found this pot was Bigei. He said that the nursurey owner had not recognized it...if he'd kown that, I wouldn't have got that bargain price. Hurrah!

Munakata bonsai club exhibition 2012(part 1)
I have just come out of hibernation 
OK, Let's back to November 2012. Our local Bonsai club exhibition.
It says "the fruit of tardition and creation...autumn bonsai exhibition".
Sales area.
My display. I thought kusaomono(second right) was a bit large, but my husband had adviced me to use it.
This Japanese white pine is my favourite. The red micro pot is my handmade. Orostachys japonica in it.
It's a shame Tyojyubai(Chaenomeles speciosa) wasn't in bloom at the time.
My husband's display. He couldn't afford a smaller table for Isozansyou(Osteomeles anthyllidifolia var.subrotunda). Far left is Karin( Pterocarpus indicus).
Mr.K is a micro mini bonsai specialisit. he is also a very good potter.
