Yamadori juniper- far too tempting to rockclimbing bonsai enthusiasts!!!

Thought you may like to see whats clinging to cliffs these days!

Beautiful. I truly hope you left it there.

BTW, the color of this deadwood should be testament to how ugly is the blank white you get when deadwood is treated with lime sulfur -- and there's nothing you can add to get that silvery color.

Wouldn't dream of removing it!

Masterpiece of nature!! I just hope the tree lives for the rest of its life up there where the view is great.

Wow! Ive never seen anything like it . What type of Juniper is it and what country?

Thanks Phil! That's beautiful! It's very nice to know such natural inspiration in out there thriving.

Yes there is!

Please show me. I've been doing bonsai for 40 years and have never seen anything that resembles natural bleaching of the wood.

Amazing. Nature makes it better than any man.

This one looks so similar to another photo that was on Flickr awhile back. Amazing what Mother Nature creates. She truly is the best teacher!

Replicate mother's nature's process - first desiccate the wood, then bleach it, then preserve it, then tint it. I'll leave the exact steps up the reader to discover as home work (to quote all engineering professors!)

Now if you said match the TEXTURE of old deadwood then I would have agreed with you, but the color is recreatable.

Beautiful. i would say that that tree has been clinging to cliffs not just these days, but for many past days.

Man, those junipers could tell a few stories.
