Create a Beautiful Lightscape

As dying embers of the sunset hits,
the solar  light begins to glow in the receding
daylight.

Too dark at night on your lawn? Try to use solar-powered lights. Solar lights add an extra-dimensional presence to your yard, whether you utilize them in the front yard or the back yard. Walk around the perimeter of your area or measure it with a retractable tape measure. Then evenly space out your solar lights every four to six feet.

Even on snowy nights, as long as there has been some light on even a cloudy day, the soft glow of the solar lights will disperse an eerie light over the snow.

Enhancing a yard with solar lights is definitely worth it for the added ambiance alone, which is not counting the added security benefits of having extra lighting. For new or replacement solar lights, go to any store's garden section--there is usually a choice between black, gold, silver or copper-colored solar lights.

Shepherd's crooks can accent your landscape
by holding solar powered lanterns as well as
provide the landscape with added elegance.

The shepherd's crook featured
here was originally used to hold
an ornate hummingbird feeder, but
has entirely outlived the crushed,
wind-battered feeder.

As the dim light fades into darkness,
the solar lights in this yard come alive,
shining brightly.
