I returned home last night from a week in California.  Three days were spent in the Bonsai Boon Winter III Intensive learning how to prepare show trees and accent plants for the exhibit.  I'll post more information and photos of the intensive later this week.

The second half of the week was spent at the Bay Island Bonsai (BIB) 10th Anniversary Exhibit.  The show was absolutely amazing.  The quality of the trees was oustanding.  The club members were very knowledgeable and friendly.  The show setup and breakdown went very smoothly.  This club is like a well oiled machine.

While I'm still unpacking and sorting through photos I wanted to share a few pictures of some of my favorite trees and displays from the exhibit.  I'll expand in a future post with stories from the exhibit.
