Creating a Cedar Bonsai Tree in an Ancient Cedar Grove

I take a trip to an ancient Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) grove, where I style an inexpensive Northern White-Cedar (Thuja occidentalis 'Degroot's Spire') as a bonsai representation of an old cedar. I had planned to style a total of three trees; however, I ran out of wire and camera battery! Despite this, I really enjoyed doing bonsai in the forest (a first for me) and I am pleased with the result. I've ordered more wire and look forward to styling the other two trees - perhaps even in the same grove. I'm still debating whether I will create a forest planting.
