Stone Lantern is sponsoring a bonsai design contest:

I was driving through Fresno and stopped at a nursery along the highway. I wasn't planning on entering this contest, but I found this tree that looks perfect for carving practice, so I submitted an entry... just in case I don't ruin it with my carving. The tree's in pretty poor condition, but I'm assuming that carving up the dead wood won't stress the tree. Maybe the needles will even turn green before the final photos are due in Oct.
