Well you had great inspiration for sure! If anyone here does not have this book, I would suggest you get hold of one while they are still in print.
Thanks, Judy. It just went into a second printing, so there should be no shortage any time soon.
For those who don't know, my post above in response to Walter Pall was a nod to the wonderful Foreward he generously contributed to the book - those are his words. He's posted other explanations about the naturalistic style elsewhere on-line, but his explanation in the book is one of the best, and he ties it in with Dan's approach to bonsai in a most colorful way. I very much enjoyed and treasure the opportunity to meet him and work with him on this, and his Foreward is a great addition to the book.
