This almost seals my decision to buy the Tamron.

Do people put fake snow on there roofs down there?

I'm midway through lighting my front yard. Found 3 broken strands of lights. It'd take forever to find the cause of the power outage on two of them. The 3rd is easy enough - a tree branch snapped it last year. But... time to buy new. I fancy the new rope lights.

Whats the source of that bright green flare in the first photo? Does that curb have some kind of reflect coating?

Great shots,

I have no idea where people find time for putting all those lights up. Let alone power bills.

love the lights.

I can never get pictures like that. I always end up with streaks of lights. LOL

Lol. I spent about three evenings and all day Sunday putting my lights out. I didn't put out as much as those shown though. My most time-taking task was finding out which sets of lights worked and which didn't. At $2 per strand (30 feet) it's not really worth tracing along a length to find which bulb has blown and extinguished a lot of other lights. Blown fuses are much easier to find and fix. In terms of power usage, the fuses are 3 amp on most strings and I'm using two power sources, about 8 strands, two animated and illuminated reindeer and an illuminated archway. Let's say that's 6 amps total (it's probably a lot less). Then let's see the amount I leave them on which is from dusk (about 6pm) until about 9/10pm when we retire for the night. So, at 6amps over 4 hours per night over about 3 weeks we're talking 24 amp hours per day and 464 amp hours for the whole Christmas period. I don't know how much that all costs but compared to air-conditioning all summer it's peanuts.
