I collected seeds from this variegated maple this year. I know the seeds won’t grow true but I’m hoping some have the variegated character. I’d love to have a bonsai with leaves like this in 10-15 years

There is one of those red lead Norways across the street from me. Beautiful tree.

Yea Norway Maples are definitely hard to get/keep small leaves. Mine are all volunteers from around the neighborhood so I figure you can’t be too choosy when it’s free

Listening to Otis Redding’s Try A Little Tenderness and the M’s Run in the winning run right at the peak of the song. Perfect timing

I sometimes get asked "in your role, at your level, why are you doing that task" and it's always because it needs to be done and if I don't, no one else will

Did a pretty major branch prune on my Tsukumo cypress. It’ll be a double trunk shohin #bonsai

My leaves are shit but I really like how the shading on the trunk came out

Playing with light and shading. Also laces are hard

Cook, I’ll check it out. I’ve found I’m becoming more nature and art oriented around what I look for in social media content these days
