Playing with light(s)

We got these very cool lights http://twinkly.com to brighten up our crape myrtle in front, and in fact to brighten up our evenings as they’re a lot of fun to play with. There are some 20 patterns and colors you can tell the lights to produce through your smart phone, including sparkling ones in a variety of colors, patterns where a design moves through the string of lights, Christmas-y and Easter-y versions, replications of the American flag and even ones that are reminiscent of the Italian and Spanish flags. You can also create and apply your own designs. I’ve decided to try a different pattern every night; this one is called “Rainbow” in which the colors constantly change and move through the string.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

This is a great idea. I’ve heard that Xmas lights are going up again all over town to brighten the nights.

Your lights are super cool!!! They look really pretty on the crape myrtle. Very nice photo of them. Your exposure is right on. I'm now really looking forward to the lights that my husband ordered yesterday to help us also get through these trying times.
