I ran across come Chihuly glass from a exhibit at the Crystal Bridges Museum of America art in Bentonville, Arkansas. I took this a couple of years ago.
I love the Chihuly Glass, but a bit too costly for me to purchase, so I'll enjoy your photos!

What is the Cold Moon?
The Cold Moon is the name given to the last full moon of December. (That was 12/29/2020, so now the Cold Moon is disappearing. This quote is from 12/29/2020. Maine has many Native American tribes.
WHY IS IT CALLED THE COLD MOON?
The Moon names we use in The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from Native American, Colonial American, or other traditional sources passed down through generations. A variety of Native American societies traditionally used the monthly Moons and nature’s corresponding signs as a calendar to track the seasons.
Today, December’s full Moon is most commonly known as the Cold Moon—a Mohawk name that conveys the frigid conditions of this time of year, when cold weather truly begins to grip us.
Other names that allude to the cold and snow include Drift Clearing Moon (Cree), Frost Exploding Trees Moon (Cree), Moon of the Popping Trees (Oglala), Hoar Frost Moon (Cree), Snow Moon (Haida, Cherokee), and Winter Maker Moon (Western Abenaki).
