Re: bark, bases and the odd flower
Your season appears to be a week or 2 ahead of my place. Buds are just showing a hint of green colour on elms but little activity yet on the tridents.
There's some nice shapes and textures amongst those pics you've posted.

Great photos
I particularly like the photo of the lichen on the pine.

Re: bark, bases and the odd flower
Nice arty shots Matt! You have a good eye for photography as well as bonsai
Perhaps try to have your subjects a bit off centre next time. Sorry for the criticism but I mean it in the nicest and most constructive way.
Regards,
Steven
