This is one of my favorite trees. I would like to see more nebari on it though. I also need the foliage pads to fill out some more, but I really like this tree. It doesn't conform to any particular style but maybe that is why I like it.

This is a tree that could go into a growing pot to enlarge some but I am kind of happy with it where it is now. Since it is a bunjin I can get away with the slender trunk. I do need to move the apex a bit and let that foliage on the left side grow out some more though.

This is a juniper that has been transplanted since this photo was taken. It wasn't budding like all my other junipers and I had to find out why. I had been experimenting with soil mixes and had been using mushroom compost as part of my ingredients. The compost had coverd the drain holes and the roots were in bad shape. It should be okay now because I have it in a soil mix that seems to be doing well for my other junipers.

This is a mini cascade procumbens that I really like. I have introduced some radical bends into the trunk and it is doing quite well. It may be a few years before I can say it is close to being where I want it, but I like this one also.

This is a congested cottoneaster that I picked up at a Wal Mart. I did some minor pruning on it and put it right into this pot. I have had this since March 2002

This is a pyracantha I have had for a couple years. If you look just at the dogleg on the trunk you can see where there was a branch growing off to the side that for the longest time I had no idea how it was going to fit into the plan for this tree. I finally decided it didn't and removed it. All that fresh growth has come on since I took it off. My wife picked this up for me because she thought I would like the rootage.

This is a pittosporum tenn that I found on a nusery crawl. There was one long branch extending out of the main canopy that I pruned back, but other than that one branch, this is how the tree looked when I bought it. It is also a new addition.

This is one of the first bonsai I bought back 3 years ago when I started. I loved the foliage colors and put it straight into the pot. Since then I have been wrestling with how to shape it. I still haven't many ideas so I think next spring when the buds swell I am going to repot it into a training pot and let it grow until it inspires me somehow.

This is my favorite tree for now. I don't know what style it imitates but I somehow find it very pleasing to look at. I think in another year or so when the canopy fills in that this will be a really nice tree. Better than those $29 bonsai you find at the malls anyway.
