The Sun Still Shines on Our Bonsai 11/9/16

maurotaxusJapanese yew with one thin live vein and lots of great deadwood. From Mauro Stemberger's Italian Dream website. 

Still on vacation and trying to recover from a hangover and a bad dream. Rather than going to the time and trouble to compose a new post, we'll resurrect this one from December, 2013. It was titled, "Sun is shining on my bonsai, but I stay in bed a little longer..."
