Bonsai Show in San Diego

I've had a thirty plus year love affair with the art of bonsai, so it was a nice surprise on Sunday, while I was taking a shortcut through Balboa Park, to come across the San Diego Bonsai Exhibition. I had very little time, but I did have my camera, so I snapped a few shots for you. These little trees could very well have been the inspiration for me moving to Japan in the first place.





























Dan Hubik has written up a nice short history of the art, which you can find here:
