Driftwood logs lying on the beach, grayed by years of sun and surf. One log in the foreground has a chunk taken out of it, exposing a deep sienna tone to the inner wood. Beautiful contrast

I want to try to do something that echoes this. And that will mean keeping it submerged. Photo was taken this past April on the Sound in Edenton, NC.

An old tree, the lower part still standing. But it has also been carved out from the inside, probably by ants or other small forest life forms. #Hiking #Yesterday #Trails #HikingTrails

The part of the tree which is still standing. It’s completely hollow from the bottom to the top. A yellow diamond shaped hiking trail sign is attached to it.

There are holes at the bottom making way to the inside.

Halfway up, just about the hiking trail sign, there’s another opening.

At the top, decay has already done huge damage.

Some much crap windy weather for 4 days i was forced to do a big tidy up of my work and display area. Been putting it off for months but with not much else I should be doing with #Bonsai so tidy is what it came down to. The European oak is down good spring stuff. 🌱🇳🇿

The Sequoia #Bonsai in training is loaded with buds ready to boom for spring. It's quite different from a year ago, too. It's now developing lots of roots at the front, which was the aim of the big development tray and sacrifice leader. 🇳🇿🌱

After quite a busy day yesterday, today we are visiting day two of the Birmingham Honey Show, with free entry to Winterbourne House and Garden. Stalls by the local bonsai group, the Lettering Arts Trust, the Lapworth museum of geology, so much craft and skill on display

Some pretty ammonites from the Lapworth (well, originally from Lyme Regis)

The winning display, including jar of honey, wax, candle, honeycomb, and an autumn wreath

By now we’ve woken up, kind of, so good morning everyone and happy Sunday! Here’s one of nature’s little wonders I saw in the Bonsai Garden last Sunday. The autumn colors of the Japanese Maple tree are just stunning. #Stunday #ColorADay #OrangeSun #PhotographersOfBluesky #ArtYear #EastCoastKin

This photo captures a Japanese maple bonsai displaying a stunning array of autumn colours. The tree’s delicately shaped, star-like leaves form a dense, elegant canopy that transitions from vibrant green at the lower branches to warm golden tones and finally to fiery shades of orange, scarlet, and deep red at the top. The fine, intricate foliage provides a sense of texture and depth, while the small turquoise bonsai pot anchors the display on a weathered wooden bench. Behind the tree, the simple vertical lines of a reed fence create a calm, natural backdrop that draws attention to the intense colours and refined structure of the maple. This beautiful image embodies the seasonal transformation and serene artistry typical of bonsai cultivation.

"In 1976, Japan gifted 53 bonsai trees to the United States to honor its bicentennial, a gesture of peace and cultural exchange. Among them was a remarkable white pine, already over 350 years old, that had been lovingly tended by generations of the Yamaki family."

Got some nice photos around Reed Lake yesterday.

A pathway into a forest path, stairs in the overcast sunlight leading down into the darkness of the forest undergrowth.

A knotted old tree and its roots dirt-covered and compacted around, on a small little "island" of sorts at Reed Lake.

The side of a fallen tree, looking at the cuts and staring into its abyss, while green leafy trees still living look on from above.

A glimpse of Reed Lake, with one of the Reed College bridges in the distance, on an overcast day.

New blog post from Michael Hagedorn, who like me, seems to need little excuse to mix birding and #Bonsai. Very cool to use birds and other wildlife and their seasonality or habitat to suggest where and when the context of a tree is in a display with accents to suit. 🇳🇿🌱 crataegus.com/2025/09/12/u...

Using Birds In Bonsai Display

Birds are often used in traditional bonsai display to give a suggestion of where the tree is. Is the bonsai in a field? In a swamp? By the ocean? On a mountain? Usually we use an accent to fulfill …

#aiart #promptshare Title: The Garden's Silent Guardian Style: Meiji-era Retro-Futurism, Japonism Prompt in ALT

A photograph in the style of Meiji-era Retro-Futurism, Japonism, depicts a female robot seated in serene meditation within a traditional Japanese rock garden. Her chassis is meticulously crafted from polished brass, inlaid with intricate mother-of-pearl filigree, and accented by elegant ebony joints, while her single optical sensor glows with a soft amber light. Cherry blossom petals gently descend, dusting her shoulders and the precisely raked gravel beneath her, while a stone lantern casts a soft, diffused glow on her form. The background consists of a minimalist landscape of moss-covered rocks and pruned bonsai trees, all softly blurred in a low-angle, close-up shot that emphasizes her contemplative posture.

Ponderosa pine growing from solid rock. Such trees can live a long time, growing in tiny increments each year but still clinging to life. Location is east of Cascade, Idaho. #forestry #trees #photography #IdahoEscape

A scraggly pine tree, perhaps five feet tall, grows from the top of a standing boulder. About half of its branches are dead, but it clings to life. The tree is highlighted against a clear blue sky.
