Dwarf Japanese five-needle Pine at this year's Kokufu Exhibition. This and other Kokufu photos are from Bill Valavanis' blog. Here's Bill's caption... "Looks like a spruce with the short needles."
Getting ready to throw the switch on our new website, so just some random pine bonsai today. Six from the past and two from this year’s Kokufu Exhibtion (Kokufu photos are courtesy of Bill Valavanis)

This gnarled old Mugo pine belongs to Walter Pall. Or at least it did seven years ago when we first saw this photo
Would you remove the first branch? The treee is a Japanese white pine by Susumo Sudo. Even though it doesn't sport a heavy truck, there are several other features that lend an aged feeling; not the least of which are its rugged bark and natural looking deadwood (particularly the see-through shari). It's from our Masters' Series Pine book
This rugged old Japanese red pine is from this year's Kokufu
Before and after Scot's pine by David Benavente. You might notice the rebar in the after photo. If you're familiar with David's bonsai, you know that he has a penchant for using rebar to bend tough old wood.
Apologies for featuring Walter Pall's famous Scot's pine once again. This particular iteration of this oft photographed tree, appear on the cover of Bonsai Today 104.
Photoshopped? I'll leave you with this one to contemplate. I found it in Peter Ebensperger's facebook photo.
