Outdoor Coffee Table- All Lit UP

         Jokes have been made the last few days that you know it's finally spring in Kentucky, because folks are taking down their outdoor Christmas lights and decorations.  Well, I did take mine down in January after we celebrated our belated Christmas.  I have used Christmas white lights in more than one old light fixture.  Last week when we set up the deck furniture, I came up with this idea for a string of lights.

I strung them under the glass top of the coffee table.

They are plugged into a remote.

 It makes a nice soft, non-glaring light.

Yes!  Christmas IS over.  Bring on SPRING!  Please!

Painted Lamp

Got a can of spray paint at Restore for a little job and had some left over.  I never was really crazy about my blue lamp, so I thought the dark paint would make it look a little more classic.  Not sure there is much difference.

Wordless Wednesday #48~ Springing Birds

From my backyard.  Actually most from my couch!

 

 Using Mr. G's new little Power Shot SX260 HS 20X IS Canon Camera.  It zooms in much closer than my DSL Nikon and I don't have to constantly switch lenses or return the cap to the lens.  However, it's so small, it's hard for me to hold steady for the big zoom in pics.

 Only a couple of these did I have to unsharp with Gimp.
