When I was out photographing another D.C. oddity, I saw this in my peripheral vision, did a u-turn and swerved around to capture it. I have a certain fascination with the little tributes people establish in their yards.
Studying this grotto combining the Virgin Mary with Santa Claus and candy canes, I couldn't decide if the owners were: 1) incredibly lazy (why take it down and put it up again for the holidays?); 2) they were somehow honoring the Virgin Birth with the more secular aspects of Christmas; or 3) they are way ahead of the curve.
P.S. They also have two flanking pink flamingos with a row of tulips, so who knows what base that covers.
