Southern Nights......Southern Lights

Creating an ambiance of lighting outdoors is as enchanting as a magic trick that captivates a crowd.....Star light , Star bright,  let's light up the night.......




I love spending time outside in my gardens, sitting on my comfortable wicker chairs, a book and a glass of pinot nior.........it is the most peaceful time of the day for me, so when I planned my outdoor decking I made sure that it was just as inviting at night as it is during the day.......So I designed a plan for 'lighting'. I conjured up a mesmerizing evening setting with quick and easy lighting......tiki torches, pretty candles and flower shaped torches, along with trees strung with rope lighting leading to the evening sky........in the distance a light iluminates a large gold moon hung high up on a tree trunk with shooting stars of metal to view from the outdoor seating......a flower oasis is aglow with a tall tiered fountain filling the night with the music of it's falling water......the lights, the sounds, the moon and musical water fountains........Southern nights, Southern lights, just how it  should be......so light it up, grab a book and a glass of pinot nior,  kick back and enjoy the ambiance of the night......
