Default The many moods of my Bonsai Tree.

Hello Everyone. Today I am showing the different moods of my Bonsai Elm Tree. The tree is about sixteen inches high and I have had it for six years. It sheds leaves in the autumn (fall) and they come back each spring. It is great fun to work with. Always showing a different character with the weather. Yesterday we had rain. The third one was a sunny day
Thanks to my good friend Beachcomber, he was the inspiration for the title.
Hope you enjoy as much as I do..
Thanks for taking a look

Beautifully delicate and evocative, the Bonsai weeps tears of happiness and as the light changes so does her mood.

Great work

just great my friend, the bonsai itself already has their beauty but you scrutinize it and revealed the more beauties

Jake - it is beautiful .. it's a great plant to photograph .. I love the different angle you chose .. it brings out the hidden beauty of the plant itself regardless what season you're in.. I love the look of the last photo .. good quality stuff here, Jake

Jake, that you gave us the first 3 stunning details out of the tree you show in 4 is amazing .. One could walk past it without pause, you've given me reason to walk slower bud ..
