Well, I've finally done a bit of decorating....Here's a daytime shot, but my tree at left looks pretty pathetically decorated - ala "A Charlie Brown Christmas". That strand has a whole middle section that is not functional for some reason. The rope lights around the columns are crooked - I know - but the paint / epoxy on them is recent, so I don't want to fasten them too tightly and make any impressions in the paint, which needs to cure through the winter. Note the newly stained deck flooring -
And here's the evening shot - it's a little blurry, didn't use a tripod. I suspect I'll have to get more creative with my red light hanging when those strands stretch out a bit. In our current cold front the fireplace is getting regular nightly use - currently my favorite aspect of the house! That blob of light at the top is a lighted wreath in the upstairs "camping room" window.
