Summer and Fall pics '09

Here are some pics from this past summer and fall. Most of them were taken on the island, while some, like this larch, Japanese black pine, and huge shore pine, are from a nursery on the mainland. All the summer pics are from the private collection of Bob Deryk, who in my opinion has the best collection of Japanese maples and Trident maples i've ever seen. Some of the remaining shots are from the Bonsai farm of George Heffelfinger, past president of the American Bonsai Federation.
