The pics, as mentioned, are sugar pines. The "bull pines", as mentioned, are ponderosa. That is probably why they do not look the same. One thing I like about bonsai, is it shows concretely, that what I give is what I get . I nurture and care for my trees, they respond with vigor and beauty. If I neglect them and I get no reward for any previous efforts.
It surprises me how many bonsai enthusiasts here fail to notice this obvious lesson. Or maybe they like being miserable, and that's why they spread gruff. A bonsai guy who hates the native pines around him? Meh, I've already spent enough time in the gutter so you'll have to excuse me from this discussion. Btw, have you heard of Google, its how I figured out what a bull pine is. It also provides images of sugar pines, so you could see if that's what you were thinking of. But I posted some pictures anyway so you could know what tree we were talking about. I wasn't taking stabs at finding photographs that would exactly match some tree you do not know the name of and do not like. Now I will continue having a good day, thanks for wishes, however sarcastic and insincere they might be.
Hopefully you can find a way to do the same. I don't dislike you , just feel sorry for you. And I choose not to return the gruff. I guess I am just immune to your strain of miserablès .
