WS : Bonsai



As part of our weekend, we visited hubby's college buddy, whose house he designed and build as narrated in my . Aside from appreciating hubby's accomplishment. I was also there to check out his friend's bonsai garden and it's really one to admire.

It's truly amazing how his new hobby complemented the design of his house. He has now a garden of his own. It's kind of a stress buster, as he relates. I took some pictures from his collection.

By the way, he also sells these plants.
