Tonight was the annual Bonsai Solstice, the only evening of the year that the Pacific Bonsai Museum is open to the general public. The trails leading from the parking lot to the Museum grounds were lined with luminaries. A few full-size trees and one larger bonsai were adorned in white Christmas lights. A few select bonsai were lit with spotlights. Otherwise, attendees viewed bonsai by flashlight.
It's a magical night during a season of gloomy daylight and long evenings, and an event I look forward to each year. It's also an opportunity to view the bonsai during their winter hibernation, many sans leaves.
