Good job so far on the shimp Leigh!!! Still needs alot of thinning out and the line charcter of the styling and placement needs time, attention and tweaking. All of which is so hard to fit all into a demo i would imagine. Please keep us updated it has the potential to be great!!! You know i got this spot marked. ;) 8-) :D

Really like the new angle on that Juniper Leigh, big improvement.

Cheer,

Hi Shane
Welcome to Ausbonsai. I am sorry I missed you out at the harbour :| Looked like alot of fun as usual :)
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

I am just knocked out by all the great support we had from all the Ausbonsai-ers. First of all Steven for the great idea of putting up the banner prmoting us on every pageb of the site -fantastic. As if that was not enough - the combining Leigh's demo with the Ausbonsai tutorial and Q & A as a LIVE presentation on the net! I don't know if this was a first but pretty new stuff .I hpoe its not out of place here but I also want to thank the rest of the demonstrators,all the Behind the scenes helpers without whom this could not happen. And of course everyone who came down to the shores of Looking Glass Bay to enjoy the offerings.
Good one

Yes Ric - I agree.

It was a fantastic event, and a brilliant one for anyone's bonsai calendar.

I am thankful for the great hospitality that was given to me by all those involved in the event. I had a great time - really enjoyed myself.
Cheers,
Leigh.

I endorse Ric's comments about Bonsai by the Harbour - a very big thankyou to Steven for the excellent publicity given us for this event, as well as his, Leigh and the other presenters great presentations. Just to whet the appetites of those of you who were unable to attend this year, I've attached some pics of sunrise at 6.00am from the boatshed last year (nothing so spectacular this year).
