Yikes, first time I'm seeing a 3 legged ladder, that hurts my dislocated shoulder. No disrespect to DSD, you contridutions are always very helpfull and welcome.
I only have a step ladder, I never knew my real ladder.
Only pic I can think of is this homemade bridge I saw in the woods. It was surprisingly deep in a swamp. I suppose it's part of the Florida trail.

@Brian Van Fleet My definition of “miniaturized” trees just has a wide tolerance 😂

Finally had a chance to go through all of the repotting photos and also the more recent ones to collate the work done on the “Tornado”. Fully styled tree photo will be updated on the progress thread as well but here’s some of the photos taken.

I think I found a field maple clump on the side of the top of the exit ramp where I stop at the stop sign going home at least 5 times a week...
Just noticed it this fall and went to check it out.
I think it's a field maple and I think I am going to collect it in spring.

Took wire off my twisted just for fun tiger bark ficus whip. Did not expect it to bite so quickly. Pretty bad actually...

Planted a Barbados cherry ROR in one of my own pots.

Doesn’t look like it broke the bark, I think it’ll be ok

Maybe lower down on the trunk it’s deep enough but could be much worse
 
primary branches selected and finally in position.Wiring, pruning, needle reduction to prepare this JBP for spring growth and design improvement! Trunk is finished, Working on compaction and density of pads. Larger single pads are now being subdivided for further refinement as foliage density improves and needle length diminishes. Still in a lsrger size maintenance pot, will downsize a bit with the next repot this spring. That will also be s good time for a slight change to the repotting angle. JBP sourced from Telperion, under development nine years.

was a little bored last night after work so i decided to make a video.
its not the educational type of video like many others make as i do learned allot the past 8 years or so but i am simply not a professional and just enjoy my hobby but i do like to share my bonsai journey and hear others insights about my projects.
so it became a short progression video with a funky tune in the background sound !
