Thanksgiving bonsai

We went back to the National Arboretum the other day to try to find some bonsai with fall color since there isn’t a whole lot of that in our neighborhood this year. Unfortunately, only three bonsai still had leaves that had turned; most of the rest had been put inside for the winter. This is a Japanese Maple, in training since 1939.

In any case, Happy Thanksgiving to all my Pbase friends, a bit late in the day!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and family. I think this American celebration is the lovliest of all - no presents, prejudice or division, just familues coming together in thankfulness.

This is so beautiful especially with the fall colours - 70 odd years old !!! One really needs to start early :) V

a notable specimen, and your image is so expertly composed...oddly, it seems more upright than Japanese Maples left in natural growth patterns..
