We've featured this famous Hiroshima Japanese white pine before, but it's never looked quite like this. The highlighted foliage takes on a life of its own, like wild junipers on a mountainside. This photo is one of many unusual and beautiful shots taken at the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum by Stephen Voss.
Yesterday it was a video to promote Stephen Voss’ Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming book (if enough of us chip in it’s a sure thing). Today it’s just a few of Stephen’s stark yet rich and evocative stills from the U.S. Bonsai & Penjing Museum. Enjoy!
The title of this post, A Post Dated Love Letter* is a quote from Stephen’s In Training video.

*Post Dated has nothing to do (beyond serendipity) with Michael Hagedorn’s famous book, though Michael did write a very positive review of Stephen’s In Training video and his Kickstarter campaign
