Bonsai

Bonsai-wallpaper
Bonsai is a living and an ever-changing form of art. It is the art of growing miniature trees in shallow containers and training them to look like and even more beautiful than the ones growing wild in nature. It is a test of one’s patience, artistic abilities, physical and emotional commitment to the creation of a living art form. A bonsai is never complete, it changes its form of the years.
