Friday nite / Sat morn, went to bed, slept on the kitchen floor, @ 3.45am, up @ 7.15am Sat morn.
Sat nite /Sun morn tried to go to bed, kitchen floor, @ 3.25am, but someone, Will, chatted all *%$$$£!! nite, I would have loved to be snoring……..You are forgiven.

Two nice group plantings before and after

Bob Brunt with a stunning juniper

Well,
That evening after consulting me, well he said was I happy, I was, very happy…. Enrico did the initial styling with my full support.
I watched as he created magic with wire, foliage and inspired and great skill.

Here is Chris's picture taken on Saturday night.



Enrico continued to refine the yew's image Sunday morning, not even stopping for lunch.



To me this clearly showed the dedication and true passion Enrico brings to all his work.
How many bonsai masters arrive early, work continuously and you have to ask to stop at the end so you and sweep up.
Well this is the case with Enrico. A true master.

Keith's Larch became a nice semi-cascade

So,
What a great weekend. Got to get a tattoo.
Great food, great company and a bonsai genius or six to share it with.
My best bonsai experiance by far.
Thank you all for letting me share it with you.

The final image, just before we left for home and Enrico finally stepped out into the cold Burrs air.





Can't wait for Burrs 2013, it's got a lot to live up to………..

Hans was busy!

A few picture I took of the event.
Happy faces all.









All smiling faces, but Pavel who smiles all the time, until he puts on his bonsai face, a very serious and focused face that gets great results.
Then once he sees the way, back across his face appear his bright smile until the next tree.. I love your smile pavel, but feel happy when your bonsai face takes over for those wonderful moments.



The Joy of Burrs bonsai.

Looks like a great event. Thanks for all the photos and stories! The before and after shots of some of the trees are particularly interesting and informative.

While Mark C. wired his tree, Tony even found time to sit and chat to Ian S while Will lurked.
What a sight, 3 bonsai legends and Will.



Only kidding Will, Mark would agree he probably has not reach legendary status just yet.

Jeremy

Hello friends,
Now we came home, after 2000km by car is all okay.
And we have great memories.
I handle video and Juraj, Josef and Rudo photos.

Thank you for your friendship and thanks for all Tonny.

I'm going to sleep now is 3:50 AM - Tuesday.

All I can say is WOW!

Burrs living up to its usual great great reputation. Thanks to all who have posted photos, I know there was one emotional Monkey who came back down south and is still flying high on the events buzz and vibes. Good to see so many faces of friends that I have not seen in a while and good to see so many people in the zone and happy. As it has been said, by Simon, Burrs is so much more than just Bonsai. I think you just have to have been to one to know.

Sorry I could not be there and hope to see most of you at Noelanders in January. I am sure there will be plenty of Burrs styled trees in future Noelanders shows.

Regards and best wishes to all I missed you

Andy

Sunday morning I thought it was the effect of the night before... I now know its because I had a tree growing out of my head

When I get back to some normality I will post some photos and more comments...and thanks to some of those that made THIS Burrs rather special.

I just repeat (although filled with envy feelings)

Keep on walking the Burr's organizers!

Great weekend!

The drive home was full of memories. Thanks to all for your very nice meeting. I'm sorry that things ended so soon, time passed quickly. This action is spectacular.
Some foto later.


Greetings to all Pavel (writes with a smile and a tear )

Hi jeremy / chris

Does this tree have its own thread in IBC? I would like to ask sth about it.
(Or who is the owner/designer of it?)

Thanks
Taner

Hi Taner,
Jeremy owns the tree he had it from "Mr T" 4 or 5 years ago and he took it to this event to work it under the guidence of the people there.
It's a Yew ( Taxus Bacata)

There is no original thread. The tree was purchased from me as raw material
