Another fantastic comp' with Shibui as the main opposition made for a good challenge again , most of my material was prepared the day before the show which is not ideal . The area required for the tree's has more than doubled over the last couple of years so it was a worthy show .
The display was slightly smaller this year , however there were 4 members involved and had their "works in progress" on show which created plenty of interest in the community . The fused Trident Triple Trunk from Shibui , the Root over Rock JBP from Craig and the Cascade Cypress from Steve stirred up a lot of interest followed by lots of questions . I did manage to trim the foliage on the Phoenix grafted juniper on the work bench over the course of the day , however i think i did more talking and explaining than actually working which is what the day was all about .
All in all it was a very good turn out with an ever increasing interest putting paid to the old thinking that bonsai only belong to an Ellette group of individuals and are not for public display . Many thanks to The Myrtleford Show and all their volunteers and members and to the Guys/Gals at the Albury-Wodonga Bonsai Society for their past , present and future support in promoting Bonsai to the public in general .
Cheers and many thanks to all involved .

Those Shohin Tridents of yours would look the "Ducks Nuts"on a hand carved mountain rock 
. Looking forward to the Albury show. 
I'll eventually get around to cleaning her up, but there is something about a well earned rustic patina! Still works hard at my place, raking hay, spraying and slashing paddocks. I've got a newer Ford(New Holland) with a cab and aircon, that does the heavy lifting these days but I still enjoy jumping on the old Ferguson!
