This past weekend, my husband and I put up these lights in our backyard. They were on clearance at Target and look great! I love how in this picture the lights seem to be leading you down a path. The light is beckoning you to follow it and makes me feel like going on a grand adventure. I feel a sense of excitement and anticipation, but also comfort. Even though it is dark outside, the light itself is warm and inviting, so I would have no problem following the light out into the unknown. I also love how the light radiates outward from the metal casings surrounding the bulbs. This adds to that sense of comfort. The lights are not trying to stay hidden, they are reaching out towards you and bringing you along with them as they illuminate the path upon which an adventure awaits.
Side note: when we first put the lights up, only half of the strands actually lit up. I guess that's what you get for buying lights on clearance! However, my darling husband went through the strands that were out, found the bulbs that weren't working and replaced them. Isn't he a doll? ;-)
The imagery, texture and energy seen at first glance at this picture provide such richness to ideas already!
