I wish all I had to say was how well that tree house is aging...
I have to admit I didn't like it much in the original post....but it is really settling into the design.
Very nice. Sorry I didn't read the prescription on your "future vision glasses".
Speaking of "fvg's"....
It seems they work for the American Bonsai Scene as a whole too.
I do not understand how anyone could mistake what you were conveying, or read it as disrespectful at all.
I think there is an excellent chance that those hobbyists will up their game, rather than fall out of it.
I personally, would love to see "hobbyist" trees, even trees in training, just as much as finely manicured "finished" trees.
I think there should be a place for them all. It will definitely help everyone remain in the game. It is like "smelling the roses along the way". Just as enjoyable as the final destination.
One time, I got to the job site and had to pee real bad so I ran into the outhouse and, after it was too late....realized it had been flipped over earlier and there was shit and paper covering the walls.
That's my irrelevant outhouse tale!
