Holiday Cheers

Ice-covered cedar

Credit & Copyright: Dr. Bruce G. Marcot

Explanation:  Like ornaments on a Christmas tree, frozen drips hang from this cedar foliage during a major ice storm that hits parts of the Pacific Northwest, U.S., every few yearsDormant under the protective cloak of ice, the plants will revive to grow again.

We at EPOW wish everyone a 
peaceful, happiest holiday season!
