Finished work and just kicking back enjoying a cool breeze and an even cooler cleansing ale on the deck. The sticks in pots are growing and I am starting to get a better understanding of this dark art of bonsai

Ain´t that great? When you start understanding things that you thought were too difficult or just unknown... Yes, it also gives me great pleasure seeing my trees progressing bit by bit, each day at a time and meanwhile I keep reading and learning in order to keep my necessary patience in check. Somedays I can´t even wait to start pruning or wiring and see "immediate" results... That, of course, proves to be impossible every time

There is a certain beauty in seeing a new leaf unravel ( probably the wrong word) that bring a tiny joy to the soul. I have found a bonsai club that meets on the Sunshine Coast( not until late January 2015,bugger) and cannot wait to pick their collective minds on a variety of subjects. This is game of developing patience to see the rich rewards.

Cheers

I am pleased to hear that you are going to a club. It is the best way of learning, and finding good material at reasonable prices. Patience is the word and it does come if slowly.

You have, in my mind one of the best starts possible and in reward such a great future will stand ahead. Welcome to the dark arts
