Here are three top finishers at the bonsai exhibit Dale-san and I travelled to see in Grand Rapids last month:

If you click on the title to this post, you should also go to the webpage of the organization that sponsored the show: http://www.wmbonsai.org/AllStateShow07/07allstate.htm , and you can see the other top exhibiters. I was especially proud of the third place finisher, the Kurume azalea, as I checked and it was a variety my grandfather, Kosaku Sawada, developed many years ago.

I think to contemplate on the beauty and serenity of any of these works of art that were exhibited would be very worthwhile.
