Looking forward to the show tomorrow!

Hope to see a good crowd there. I wont have any Ausbonsai apparel on but I'll be the relatively tall bloke with a black pork pie hat on.

I haven't met anyone from the site yet... so if you're feeling friendly say g'day.

Cheers,

Ces.

If Saturday is your only day available Ces you should come to the Goulburn bonsai exhibition for a good day out? I'm going to the Sydney show on the Monday, and bringing my money.

Some individual shots of the trees
A big thanks to my daughter Natalie, who came along and took most of the photos.

Most of the individual tree shots were taken with Flash, but after taking most I worked out a White Balance setting to correct for the light, and too heap of shots without flash to compare. Some were great, others not so uploading some of each here.

I have uploaded them all to my own Gallery here if you want to have look at all the trees.
