Photos: Nature’s icy holiday ornaments

January 6, 2023 by FHC 5 Comments

by Marlene Berlin

Some of our neighbors go all out when decorating for Christmas. But the most spectacular decorations I saw over the holidays were completely natural.

After celebrating the last night of Hannukah, I set out on Christmas Day to see the gift of the icy ornamentation the cold snap left along Rock Creek and other nearby streams. On this excursion and another a few days later, I saw ice sculptures.

And I saw abstract art.

On Rock Creek.

And I wasn’t the only one who saw art in nature.
