It is raining in Daylesford and i cannot do my repotting. Hence i am spending time posting on ABC. I would like to share my Box forest with you as i cleaned it up a little yesterday and spent a bit of time fussing over it. It is a creation that has been together for 5 years now and it sort of depicts my lifes dream. That is, living with nature and training Martial arts in the forest. If you look closely you will see a stone house with a path leading to another part of the Forest where i am doing my Martial Art. I know it is unusual to use box for a forest but the trees were more than mature enough to combine The forest is about 1.2 metres long. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Future plans are to keep pruning for density so the canopy combines a little better.

Yeah is a great forest mate, and for once the Mud man doesn't look out of place, nice work.

And it sucks about the rain huh.

Beautiful setup. Boy that little statue suits the tranquil forest so well. By the way Bhodi, what martial art do you practice? I was thinking of doing martial arts myself actually. Unfortunately last month I was diagnosed with a condition called "Lazy Eye". Unfortunately since then ,it has spread to the rest of my body. ......Lazy arms, lazy legs, lazy bum...................................

Thanks Jester, I practice an art called Tang Soo Tao.and have most of my life. It has become a lifestyle for me. You can go on our website or TST has its own website. Hope that lazyeye invading the rest of your body gets better.
