While DH went to lake to water and mow....I played in the yard with some glass faces I'd been given last year. I spent a lot of time figuring where I wanted them and how to light them. Used some tea lights first. Then I took them down and re-did them......until I was finally happy with the placement behind the bushes. Doesn't look so great close up, but all the wires are hidden by the shrubs in front of them during the day.

Here they are last night. I still have to "clean up" the lights and remove the extras...but I like 'em! I took photo from upstairs deck, so some of the heads don't show up because of hanging baskets. (and replacement grass does show up!)

Ooh! Pretty! You wouldn't leave them on during the whole night, would you?

No, Our neighbors might not like to see 'em while they're trying to sleep! We'll have them on a timer....when we use them. I don't like to light up the yard every night. Same neighbors have clear Xmas lights that are on timer and come on all year long till midnight. They don't see them because they're upstairs above them, but we do!

They can be fairly bright at night. This is what they looked like in daylight.
