winter garden

Today Tim and I visited a garden by Maiden Rock, WI where the Nelson family makes ice sculptures using water sprinklers and an artesian well. Luke Nelson told us these were made after Christmas; our polar vortex weather made it fast and easy! At night they light up the sculptures. I wouldn't mind this kind of winter junk in my garden!

    Are those as large as they look? Is that a car and telephone pole on the left? They look really neat!

    Duh, I just 'saw' the flagpole! They are huge!
