The best part in all this is neighbor. Spent zero dollars and have the best view of it all. Is the house behind the photo is yours or neighbor?

Neighbor. They have a view, for sure! But they can’t really see the waterfall. They can hear it from their deck.

The sound of running water is always amazing! Never get tired of mine! I’ll share some pics when I finish cleaning it up a bit. 2 ponds both hand dug in clay by me connected by a stream. One 3 1/2’ deep, the other 6’.

A full moon is rising behind the pond.

Hard to find the words. Such a calming scene. Bravo!

Your pond is spectacular. The moonlit photo reminds me of a favorite shin hanga print...Sanpoji Pond

Thanks!

I’m hoping this fall I can get some Japanese Maples planted and get it landscaped better.

The pond, tonight, taken with the new Iphone 11 Max. It has better low light performance.

And now setting up the bonsai benches:

Spectacular set up!
I really like the benches!

 

[Adair M]

The Shohin bench.



Except for my pine on the right, it’s not Shohin! It will go up with the others. For now, it’s close to the house. I’m going to be using it as a demo piece in the class I’m teaching at Plant City Bonsai this Saturday. (Ahem: Shameless plug!)

Are the 4x4s secured to the stacks of blocks?
Or just a gravity hold?

They’re 4x6’s. Really heavy. They’re not secured.

Looks really nice, Adair! I think I have the same green cart that you do.

You probably have the handle attached properly. Mine is 90 degrees off, so it’s vertical. Still works. I could change it, but it makes it easy to identify which one is mine when several people have the same one! Lol!!
