Woke up, had breakfast and went up to heaven, bonsai heaven that is.

Spent a mostly rain-free day at Ryan Neil's Bonsai Mirai. As always, days spent with Ryan are packed with knowledge effectively and efficiently communicated. By midday I was excited to work on trees as well as see my trees at Mirai that I hadn't seen since June. One will be repotted; others will be studied for styling later in the year.

I'll also be buying some trees for Bonsai Shinsei New York. These are world-class collected trees from the American west. Can't wait to have them at the studio in April.

Check out some photos from Mirai here. I'll be adding more between now and Sunday when I'll be heading home.
