    Zen garden help

    I am looking for some bonsai trees, and a good image of the raked gravel that I can use. Anybody have something like that?

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    There are a lot of jpg's that you could convert to png or gif. Most of the transparent BG images on the web seem to require a fee of some sort.

    For the raked gravel I would suggest you go take a picture of the last sand trap you were in.

    Scott spends too much time on Chieftalk to be able to properly rake the gravel under his bridge.

    Thanks Val for the links, I got my "raked gravel" from there.

    Now if anybody has a cool Japanese tree, you know, the "manicured" type, about 6' high, about 8' wide, with a FEW limbs going off any either direction, and if you would share that with me, I'll be your best friend....... for at least a couple of hours.

    Good morning! The fog is so thick here I could cut it with a knife.

    Below is your raked "pea gravel" from one of those traps you managed to avoid by hacking your way around it. This is quite obvious as I don't see any trenches or excavations in this perfectly maintained raked gravel bed.

    I think the removal fee for this Zen gravel bed to your location is quite high! However, this fee could be waived with another great Saturday morning webinar.
