Orlando Bonsai Photo Album

My Travels in Bonsai Orlando Bonsai Store

Well I'm just getting started in recording pictures of everyone that I have met so far. These are the first of the great ones that I have crossed paths with during my journey. From each I hope that I have taken away something, good or bad, that has influenced my journey along the bonsai path. Their spirit will remain in my trees and I will always be grateful.

Here are some pictures of me in Hong Kong during my trip from March 19 to March 30th. Not a whole lot of Bonsai there, but the experience was great.

These pictures were taken at the Bonsai display in Alcobendas Spain just outside of Madrid. I was there on business and it was located only 300 yards from my hotel. What a pleasant surprise it was, and the tree quality was exceptional. November 2007
