Bonsai 202

I have not been on this site in a while I have some new specimens and I'm still learning .

It's been a while since posted anything on this site I have a few collected trees that are doing well .

I collected a willow near my job. I will try to post a picture as soon as I figure out how.

I collected a few trees a elm and maple.

I have been interested in Bonsai years now I am ready to get serious about the art.

I know this time of year is not a good time to collect bonsai material but not far from wher I live there is a man made reservoir that has build up sediment that stays wet. I was wondering if I could collect young willows that can be easily dug up or bay be dug around the tree for next spring collecting.
