Bonsai Museum

Do you like little bonsai trees?

My "live-in gardener" does!

He has been taking classes for a few years

and gradually our garden house is becoming full of little trees.

He had been wanting to visit the Weyerhauser Bonsai Museum

for awhile; so on the road trip we recently took we stopped by there

on the last day of our adventure. It is just south of Seattle.

Some of the little trees were in bloom.

Some were trained to hang in new ways.

Some just stood up straight and well I was going to say

tall, but tall for a bonsai I guess.

The exhibit was done quite nicely outdoors.

Oh I had to include this just for fun.

It was a full blown tree that I could stand under.

It was so full of blooms it took my breathe away.

Well those little trees were fun to see, but this delighted me.

OK, back to the little trees.

I loved the way they were displayed.

Oh the patience and attention to detail one little tree can take.

This group had about 50 little trees gathered together,

wondering if they were having a party.

Some the trees had little friends sitting nearby.

All in all it was a fun exhibit to see.

My "live-in gardener" loved it immensely.

I think what fascinated me was in amongst the forest of big trees

there was this beautifully curated museum of little trees.

Now I didn't hug any tree, but I do love both big trees and small ones too.
