Festive Lights

I went outside a couple weeks ago and wrapped a few strings of lights around the railings to give the house a bit more festive sparkle. They're LED lights and I'm still torn on them. I like the energy savings and all that but a big part of me still prefers the twinkle of traditional lights. They're just brighter and warmer.

I keep hoping that now that they've made a warmer white LED light, they'll be able to make similar adjustments to the other colours.

Still, the fact that they're cool means that the snow that fell yesterday (all day!) piled up on the lights and didn't melt around them, giving me a cool effect for pictures tonight! The first one is probably my favourite, just because of how the snow pile is glowing but I also like the reflections of the colours in the second one!
