The autumn 2024 colors have come and gone (almost as there are about 10 Dwarf maple bonsai masterpieces which have not completely changed color.)
We were able to capture some individual bonsai in peak color, and I felt fortunate to enjoy them, as a reward for the great care my crew and family provided daily throughout the growing season.
Unfortunately, the autumn colors peaked while I was in California for the excellent 2024 Pacific Bonsai Expo in late October. Truthfully, I was quite disappointed with the autumn colors this season even the peak period was not as vibrant as in the past.
Below is my favorite autumn garden photo from November 2018. Perhaps we might have to wait another six to seven years to catch the beauty at the right time, when most of the trees change color at the same time. But, for now we are enjoying some autumn beauty.
