hazy, drowsy and mesmerized

Daily release of cedar pollen cloud reminds me that I also have to get busy with taking care of Bonsai seedlings in this time of the year.  So far I've repotted Pinus mugo rostrata, Pinus sylvestris, Tsuga diversifolia and Trident maple seedlings.  Pinus parviflora and other Japanese pines can wait in line for few more weeks until around the cherry blossom season.  Few days ago, a spider on a leaf of Maki (Podocarpus macrophyllus) already caught a fly (possibly the first catch after winter), looked at me with smug face with multiple eyes.
