A few degrees off kilter, but I wanted to get a photo of the Christmas lights up on the blog.
Pretty! We wanted icicle lights (check) and the new LEDs (check), but we didn’t realize that the resulting light would be quite so blue. They probably look even odder because at a slight distance, the ones above the green garage look blue, while the denser ones against the brick on the house look almost-white. I’ve been a fan since they first went up: the color reminds me unshakably of our fishtank, which I love (Merry Christmas, from the fish!)and they use next to no electricity, and it’s our new house, so.
We’ll probably reevaluate next year, though I could definitely see using them on the back of the house. (They’re actually prettier from the inside looking out than from the outside in, I think.) Kevin was really disappointed with the color at first, but they’ve grown on him too. In any case, a post for the blog before they finally come down.
If one were to have an unlit outdoor area do you think they’d provide enough light that you could hang out there during the dark hours of the summer? Ideas are floating in my mind regarding our back deck….
Some people get concerned about over doing Christmas lights. I’m glad to see you’re in the have fun group.
