Pasture Juniper, in training since 1980

We visited the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum at the National Arboretum, reputed to hold one of the finest collections of miniature masterpieces in North America, with bonsai originating from Japan and penjing from China.

Fantastic form and a great background to show these. I'm in training since 1959 but I think I would not fit in this fine series.
