Text of the page (random words):
ake a spin down to gougan barra the scenery is suberb especially on a clear and sunny day and it is a photographers dream for capturing beautiful shots with so many elements in one place what is really interesting is the forest walks now being with 6 children there is only so far you can venture as what is always in the back of your mind when walking with kids is how far you travel it seems twice as long on the way back everyone is tired looking for hiddybacks plasters water you swear you were traveling through the sahara so taken the short distance we could travel i managed to capture some nice shots on the phone of the walk into the woods i didn t take any pictures of the lake or church as i have done so many times in the past and with the chaos of walking with 6 kids all under 6 you can imagine you are pulled from pillar to post the kids thoroughly enjoyed the walk as it was a lovely day and they love looking at trees and letting their imagination run riot of bears and wolves in the forest now myself and the wife may have had something to do with that but its all part of exploring the woods as kids there are many native species of flaura and fauna and over 20 species of trees notably scots pine japanese larch sitka spruce and lodgepole pine on reading more on the woods i discovered that in 2014 the woods was temporarily closed to allow for the felling of over 16 000 trees mostly larches infected with or susceptible to phytophthora ramorum a pathogen responsible for sudden oak death thank you wikipedia some of which you can see in the below picture if you ever manage to get to cork in the south of ireland i would definetly recommend a trip to gougane barra i hope you enjoy the pictures of some of the trees and landscape some sheep finding shelter on the banks of the lake inspecting a little waterfall share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on pinterest opens in new window pinterest share on

often hear the term absence makes the heart grow fonder well this is certainly the case for me i haven t posted a single item in 5 years and 1 month i couldn t believe it when i went back to check my last post they also say whoever they are that time flies when your having fun during my 5 year leave of absence from bonsai and writing on this blog there has been many times of laughter times of joy and also times of difficulty everyone can relate i am sure but these past 5 years have seen a change more specifically regarding my own family when i last wrote a post in july 2015 i had 2 children noah and maria since then our family has grown with the arrival of 4 more beautiful children aaron nathan samuel and only three months ago in the height of the covid 19 outbreak along came sienna many other things have happened but this i suppose has been the highlight of the past 5 years for my wife and i so to say we have a busy house is an understatement it is complete chaos at times but it is always vibrant and full of noise and full of life you might say the past few weeks though i started to look back on this blog you see even though life seemed full and always 100 miles per hour some days i always missed bonsai just the ability to switch off and go out to the garden and water the trees in the evening to listen to the water drip off the bench and experience the aroma of pine and juniper when admiring them up close the ability to go and sit down in front of one of my trees and get lost in the possibilities and outcomes time could have on it the excitement of discovering some raw material in a nursery the desire to learn as much as you possibly can in books club meetings and youtube videos and the one that always stands out with me is the spotting of potential yamadori while driving through the mountains or in the country side even walking through the local forest even though i may not have been practicing our learning bonsai during this time that never leaves you once bitten i think it is true to say you are left with a mark all the above is laughable by someone who has not discovered the beauty and just how addictive bonsai can be so you could say i have been pining pardon the pun over the chance to start fresh again to start building a collection of bonsai slowly to take time to learn and practice to do it right any of the trees i had before i put away the scissors was given to one of the lads in munster bonsai club and to be honest i hadn t anything special to look at or of great value but they were more sentimental as i had spent a a number of years working on learning making mistakes etc so now i have an opportunity to start again and begin this journey of learning bonsai and hopefully with time developing my knowledge i look forward to hopefully attending the club which i had helped to start way back with piotr which is still going strong due to the dedication consistency and love of bonsai by its members and of course i look forward to recording the journey one step of a time as i do believe there are so many people in ireland looking to start or like me maybe looking for that little push to get back into bonsai the more that we can share and write about this passion on our little island the greater the possibility more people will hopefully follow hopefully the next post wont take another 5 years share this share on

lyons bonsai 2 japanese bonsai pots blog koito taizan was born nagakura saburo in 1911 and died in 1997 the koito yaki kiln was one of old kilns in japan and first opened in the edo period kanei era 1624 1643 before the war koito taizan returned to his hometown after an apprenticeship in seto in order to establish himself as a potter and reconstruct the kiln of his forefathers he asked kyuzo murata of kyuka en in omiya village his cousin for assistance and guidance in reconstructing the koito kiln and completed the task in 1946 if you re not familiar with the name murata was a famous bonsai artist and koito taizan began making small bonsai containers commissioned by kyukaen in 1949 the first stage firing of 200 small bonsai pots was completed the containers fascinated enthusiasts

club will reach it s 2nd birthday in a few months time but our visit to bunratty and bud garden centre was certainly the start of something good ray the co owner of the garden centre is one of the original club members and has been a keen supporter of all their efforts to drive bonsai forward in munster we suggested that bud garden centre newly opened in march might be a good location for a workshop helping to spread the club over the whole province so at not to become cork centric ray embraced the idea and saturday saw us deliver a successful workshop in bunratty not just to the regulars but also three new faces great to see steven lottie and harry joining in for the first time it was a busy session with lots of trees and we also had the public view original post 98 more

demanding time wise and with the birth of the newest addition to our family maria i have found it difficult the past while to get into a proper routine with my trees but yesterday my son and i decided to go and give my trees a bit of tlc so when i went investigating some of the wire on one or two of the trees noah decided to jump right in and grab the watering can after getting stuck in and getting more wet than the trees themselves we decided a smaller can would probably be more appropriate and there we have it now my little man is looking after my trees when im at work now my wife will have to listen to the two of us wanting to water the trees well done small man share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on pinterest opens in new window
