The contrast of black background and red leaves works to a tee. The tree is a Arakawa (Snake skin) Japanese maple that belows to Luis Vallejo. All three photos shown here are by Miguel Krause.
Just a quickie today while I continue to try to catch up from vacation (no good vacation goes unpunished). I found the photos on Luis Vallejo’s facebook feed. This is not the first time we’ve shown Luis’ bonsai and I don’t think it will be the last.
In addition to showing you the striking color contrast, I want to remind you that 4 excellent sales end tonight. Just in case you need some bonsai wire or you’d like to enhance your bonsai book collection (see below).

Nature can be strikingly beautiful. In this case with a little help from some humans (Arakawa is a cultivar, like almost all Japanese maple varieties).
