BONSAI - "Quickie" Today

Today as I was watering the Asian Patio, I looked over at Rosemary and I decided that the Rosemary plant needed a “haircut”.    I have been doing Bonsai on this plant for eight years or more.  Each August I give it a trim so that I can see more of the trunk and branches – love the look!  Here are two photos after I finished today, plus some other photos from this morning as I walked the paths.

Enjoy

 today - time to Bonsai

 Love the "movement"of the lines made by the trimmed branches!

When I started out this morning - the sunrise

looked like an Impressionist painting.

I talked with some people today 8.19.18, and they said - 
I should try sending some more photos of the Bonsai with a white background - 
better to see the finished work.
So here are a couple more photos.
