Yes, I am the evil scientist who thought of and then created this evil Ice Monster in my own front lawn, I mean Laboratory! I need some thunder and lightning to make this seem more credible. Every year, when it really gets cold, I pull out the Ice Monster stand and nail tree limbs all over it. Once I do that I put a hose, with a sprinkler head on top of the stand, and let the ice build over everything. We get quite a reaction from the neighborhood when its done. Hope you enjoy!

It is absolutely gorgeous Paul!!! My father-in-law would do this to their weeping willow tree at Christmas time and the kids loved it. He is gone now but not forgotten:))

Paul - A creative idea for decoration. With the color spots and icicle lights, it is quite appealing. Well done - creation and photo. Thad

LOL.. this is fabulous, Paul! I think you should get an award for the most imaginative ice crystal sculpture! I love the coloured lights seen through the ice, and the ice on the ground even sparkles! Nicely captured!

Boy what a creative mind you have Paul. That seems to be a lot of work but one the other hand it's really beautiful. I could actually send you some of our cold and snow from Northern Ontario, Canada
