Bonasi

2007.04.04













Do I see Bonsai trees as art creating " worlds within worlds" or do I agree with Marge Piercy who wrote:

The bonsai tree
in the attractive pot
could have grown eighty feet tall
on the side of a mountain
till split by lightning.

But a gardener
carefully pruned it.
It is nine inches high....

aggiechristine That poem is so sad - and can apply to so many things in life. I'll never look at a bonsai tree the same again! Great set - I especially like the compositions of #7 and 8.

photopoet the nursery is called Bonsai West and it's in Littleton, MA. There are several large indoor areas and a huge outdoor area. I went with a friend who was purchasing a fig tree bonsai and while she looked at the different trees I wandered about taking pictures. Bonsai West offers classes, bonsai sitting, and care for hurting plants. Most fascinating were the trees hundreds of years old.

I only quoted half of the poem—it's worth while looking up the second half. The first part is really a metaphor for the second part.

carmitage Beautiful serie. I don't know why but I always feel sorry when I see a bonsai, I feel like planting it in my garden, but I don't think it would survive the treatment !
I also favour the flowers
