How To Light Up Your Garden
A garden is made from many elements collaborating. Correct landscaping involves the elements collaborating in unison. The plants provide the base for the design, rocks and sculpture gives the accents that make it stand out and eventually everything else that makes it unique from any other design out there.
When it comes together, it can be very beautiful. Imagine strolling round a lovely garden under the bright as you are welcomed by fragrant flowers, fresh lush greens from thick bushes only to be interrupted by perfectly placed stones and sculpture that make an already agreeable experience far more amazing. Now imagine if you can multiply the impact of this gorgeous garden 100 fold.
The way to do that is by taking advantage of the darkness of night. The shroud of darkness is the perfect medium to focus on the right areas that may give the best impact. The only way to do that, especially in the dark is with correct lighting.
Prior to start putting up lights in your garden there are a couple of things that has to be done. First of which is planning your lighting layout. Each garden wants focal point and it is crucial to highlight them.
Additionally highlighting elements in the garden you also have to plan what kind of lighting to use. The types of lighting that one can use include up lighting, down lighting, path lighting, emphasis lighting and finally specialized lighting. Up lighting is used to highlight high focal points like a tree canopy or hanging designs. If an object being highlighted is grounded then the best kind of lighting would be down lighting.
After deciding on where to put the lights and what sort of lighting to utilize the next thing you need to know is what kind of lights to use. Do you want to use high wattage lighting or solar powered bulbs? Do you need decorative fixtures or do you like them concealed?
After answering these questions, the very next step is to buy the lights. Beautifying your garden is important but it is also important that we perform on a budget. Determine a budget you are comfortable with and stick to it.
The final and most important part of lighting your garden involves actually installing the lights. If you have an easy plan you can do it yourself but if it's a complex lighting work that you are dealing with there are pros that will help you out. However whether you do it on your own or you get a bit of help, that splendidly lit garden will be the showcase of your house at night.

What kind of pen do you enjoy using the most?
Be as specific as you can be. I usually go for medium point black or blue, but I also really dig them snazzy looking fine-point Pilot Pens. They make me feel really technical.
I really appreciate all the answers so far.
This question really was intended for doodling and writing, but since that's not a category, all interesting pen types are welcome as answers. It's just nice to get to know more about good pens from everybody's point of view.
It depends on what I'm writing, and why.
If I have to write a lot, I find a Pentel Liquid Gel Ink pen is most comfortable, and enjoyable. Usually a 1.0 mm, but I have a few in different ranges.
If I am signing a card or writing a special letter, I use one of those fake fountain pens. They have the beautiful old-fashioned nibs, but you don't need to fuss with ink or cartridges. I love the one I have right now, made by Sailor Japan. It is longer than a normal pen, so very easy to find when I am fumbling in my bag. A beautiful fern green colour, with black and gold toppings. The nib is gold, and there is a thick black band separating it from the green body.
It feels very good in my hand and doesn't run dry, so even though it is disposable and therefore not good for the environment, I don't mind.
Basically I like a pen that writes quite broadly and flows easily. And one that doesn't cause a callous between index finger and middle finger.
Oh, and the great trick with the imitation fountain pen is that you can produce very fine lines with it or very broad ones, so it is so great for doodling!
I am sure there are millions of great pens out there, but I am sticking to these two, until they discontinue them and I am forced to look for something else.
P.S. I like blue or black ink too, but often need red.
Edit. Oops. Eringobr is right! This is the drawing and illustration section! I am so sorry to have wasted your time with my answer ... but the Sailor pen is great for doodling!
Just shows how we can get excited about a good question and rush in to answer without bothering to notice the category! I'll be more careful next time!
