These are leds, which seem to keep their color.  The funny thing is that for years as I’ve climbed the top 15 feet of this sycamore tree to wrap the limbs I’ve sworn every year I was going to lose weight. Since the surgery I’ve dropped 18 pounds and kept it off, but now I’m in no condition to climb the limbs!  We’ll see if I can keep it off till next year.

Be careful on those ladders!  I left Xmas lights on a tall oak tree years ago for one year and the colored ones turned clear due to the elements.  I rented one of those bucket devices to install the lights.  Hope to see some pics.
