Bare naked trees

Hello again. This post is about the Baikoen Bonsai Club's 48th Annual Winter Silhouette Bonsai Exhibit at the Los Angeles Aboretum last weekend. In my opinion one of the best shows in California. My apologies to anyone whose tree I did not post, some of my photo's were not good enough to use.
 Every tree in the show was  deciduous with no leaves. Hence the post title. With no foliage to cover things up one really gets to see the structure of each branch of the tree. It really shows off the work of the artist who has sometimes spent many years to develop the ramification that is hidden when in leaf. I hope you all enjoy the trees.

I hope that you were able to at least get a feel for the show. It's nowhere near as good as being there. Maybe it'll inspire you to make next year's show. 

Like always I welcome all thoughts, comments and suggestions for future posts.

Until the next time...
