Dan Barton has very kindly given me permission to re-blog some pages from the OurBonsai web site. Thanks Dan
I think the concept and content of the site is excellent so please click the link to pay it a visit. Dan’s objective, as I understand it, is to showcase “bonsai that have been created from simple beginnings”
Quote “Many more pictures of your trees required for this International site — do check through your photos to see what you have that ‘fits the bill’. I do hope you’ll be a part of it.
This site is capable of handling 100′s of images, so come on guys, let’s be having some of your beautiful specimen bonsai to showcase for the rest of the world to see and to encourage more bonsai enthusiasts to persevere with their trees from simple beginnings.
For further information about the site take a look at the “About” page”
