Nature’s Ornaments by Todd Henson

Nature’s Ornaments

This is a photo I lost track of and likely should have processed and posted around the holidays. But I’ve found it and I’m posting it now.

This photo shows cones from an eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) hanging like ornaments on a Christmas tree. The photo was created on August 19th of 2023 at Blandy Experimental Farm, the State Arboretum of Virginia. I loved the look of the cones and was drawn to this arrangement with the tree in the background providing a nice blue-green backdrop for the cone.
