Boon Again 9/24/13

This magnificent juniper makes its rocky home in California’s Sierra Nevada range. This photo, and the next three photos, are from a recent series on Boon Manakitivipart’s facebook timeline titled “Sierra trip with Dylan, Toby and Freddie at Carson Pass.”

We’ve been featuring Boon Manakitivipart’s bonsai since Bonsai Bark’s earliest days. Not only is Boon a highly accomplished bonsai artist, he is teacher to several other accomplish bonsai artists (Michael Hagedorn immediately comes to mind). Equally important, Boon is a lover and photographer (along with some friends) of some of the Sierra Nevada’s most astounding trees.

 

 

Boon and half-man revisit an old friend (see below).

 

This Boon photo appeared in two early era (2009) Bark posts (here and here).

That’s Boon counting rings(?). This photo also appeared a 2009 Bark post. It was titled Boon’s Big Bonsai. You might notice that’s it’s a close-up of the third tree above.

  1. What the heck… who treated the deadwood with lime sulfur on all of these huge, wild trees?!!!
