Could someone with well developed pads on a Hinoki Cypress post some close up images of their pads?

Please and thank you

I have no hinoki on refinement yet but this is my hinoki bible:

Yes! I've reread that many times. Hoping to just get some images of refined trees. I did slightly veer off from their recommendations of wiring in the fall, as I did both my trees mid-late summer. One tree I did remove one wire that was starting to swell, but the others are actually showing very little swelling if any. So I think I did it after the apex of the growing season.
