Today's feature tree would stop traffic if it could walk down the street. I imagine it was carved rather than simply found that way, though I've been fooled before 

Couldn’t resist there two magnificent bonsai. Both express mastery when it comes to carving deadwood and both belong to David Benavente, a long time favorite here on Bark. David doesn’t mentioned the varieties and I won’t bother to guess (I've been burned one too many times).

Here’s a link to David’s fb timeline, and here’s one to his website. Enjoy!
