To Kill a Mockingbird at Diamond Head Theater

Andrea and I took Lenore to see the play at DHT on Sunday, February 8^th.

On Saturday Andrea found some old bonsai drawings so I scanned them. This one is by Harry Hirao of a tree I won in a demo.

This one is by John Naka for a tree he advised me on at a bonsai club meeting.
