Bonsai

While in Washington DC, we spent a morning at the National Arboretum.  If you are ever in the area, it is well worth your time to stop.  One of the features at the arboretum is a Bonsai museum.  It is pretty amazing to see these trees and realize that some of them are several hundred years old.  The oldest is from 1625.  As I wandered and shot, I was intrigued by the shape and form of the trees.  The contrast of the natural curves of the trees against the angles and lines of the containers was fascinating.  As I was wandered and shot these fascinating trees, I realized that converting these to black and white would really make these stand out.
