Manicure

The trees do remind me of those little Bonzai trees that they grow in pots.

Wow, I love those shapes…....the trees look so elegant.

Gorgeous shot, very lush !

Thanks so much for the comments. The whole garden is filled up with these beautiful manicured trees and shrubs. It is well worth a visit.

Fantastic colour saturation once again, & I love the symmetry, it’s all about balance and harmony, as only Japanese gardeners know how. Wonderful!

Beautiful shapes!!

Stunning image and scenery, well done.

Oh that looks really cool. Nice shot.

Interesting symmetry to the trees. I like the “sculpted” feel of them. Great shot.

Beautiful derid!

Unbelievable. It looks like fairyland. I just love the shades of green.

Great work!!

Wonderful colours, composition, and treatment.

fantastic

great fairy tale shot. the colours a bit high though for my tastes but that could just be my moniter.

beautiful colors!wow what a pleasant to my eyes!love it!

This is something out of Alice in Wonderland…top shot

Very interesting so alive and unique.

very vibrant scene

Great shot Derid. Are these huge Bonzai trees? Just beautiful and the leaves make is such a soft photo. Very nice.

very nice, I love it.

Thanks so much for the comments. These trees are similar to Bonsai trees in that they are sculpted and trained in a similar manner. They take a great deal of care to keep them this way. However, height wise, these trees are well over my head. I think that the techniques are the same, just the size is different. They have sculpted much of the garden in a similar manner. The lower lying bushes get shaped as mounds. (see the photo “In a dream”)

beautiful colours – nicely composed too – wonderful shapes to this image within the frame – really like it :)

So much care has gone into those trees great capture well done

fantastic colours…wow..

Wonderful shot! Congrats!

Wow this is really stunning…picture perfect!

lovely

Excellent Derid! I love Japanese gardens. One of my favourite subjects to paint.

Amazing trees !!!!

Beautiful trees, beautiful image

like the way this could almost be a miniature garden due to the perfection of those tree tops… works both ways for me… on a large and small scale..

Surreal!

Well captured. Love it!!

Very nice indeed.

Thankyou all for your comments on this one. These gardens are incredible to visit.

awsome! It looks like a fairytale setting – like alice in wonderland. csl

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! .........I love the shapes of the trees and the way the leaves are scattered across the ground!! :-)

This is incredible. I love everything about it.

wonderful greens

Very neat!!!

beautiful , quite a stylish cut that bush has

Since giving up bonsai I’ve repotted my trees in bigger pots and called them patio plants.
All my cotoneasters in the garden are shaped in some way whether cloud or square.
Anyhow good photo of “bonsaied” trees.
Cheers Neil

I always wanted to learn how to do that….......maybe when I retire in 30 years I shall have time :)
Absolutely gorgeous colors-
