Man! When I read the title I was thinking of those solar walkway lights and such. You went over the top. Nice job! :thumbsup:

Very nice. You will learn to really appreciate that light. I have a large yard light atop my last power pole. Its has a day/night photocell and illuminates the entire yard. Keeps the "night-time baddies" at bay. The only suggestion I might offer - a night-time illuminated dragon.

My wife isn't capable of NOT adding to it !!!!
Saw this thread and thought "oh another garden light" then realized it was EddieWalker starting this thread so I should see this. Sure glad I did it looks great and not just another garden light.
The HoneyDo lists never stops my friends. Lost my Darling 3 1/2 years ago and still about to work myself crazy trying to catch up but I see now I'll never quiet make it.
I suppose that's part of the grand plan.:thumbsup:

Thank you for all the kind comments.
Like everything, it evolved from my wife wanting a light out there, to putting in the pole and trying to figure out a creative way to attach the light to the pole, and not finding what I was looking for in a bracket to support a cross post. It just evolved from finding, or making a bracket, to finding a cedar tree with the right split to it that wasn't too massive. Most of the splits are close to the ground, where the trunk of the tree is too thick.
The dragon was something I noticed at Petsmart when we where there a few weeks ago looking for an aquarium for Karen's Garden Kitchen. We now have three aquariums, and the dragon is sold as something to put inside an aquarium for fish to swim around. I felt the light needed something whimsical, since it's in the garden.
Texas Star light, because nothing else is acceptable.
