10 ways to illuminate your garden |

Front yard lighting ideas are a key consideration when designing the approach to your house. 

Both aesthetic and practical factors need to be taken into account, including the positioning and power sources of each light, and you’ll also need to factor in external lighting from any streetlights or neighboring properties as these affect a home's light levels come the evening. 

These outdoor lighting ideas will provide a warm welcome to guests, help make a home more secure, and look good to boot.

Front yard lighting ideas 

Front yard landscaping ideas must include lighting for both aesthetics and safety. Just as with backyard lighting ideas, be sure to check the safety rating of each of the lighting fixtures you intend to select when installing garden lighting. Those designed for ‘wet’ conditions are necessary, although on a covered porch, a ‘damp’ rating could be sufficient.

1. Add pretty porch lighting

There is a plethora of front porch lighting ideas that are sure to create a warm welcome for you, your family and visiting guests. In fact, there are so many different sizes and styles that it can be hard to narrow down.

'When it comes to selecting front yard lighting ideas for a porch, I consider a few things,' explains designer Mimi Meacham of Marian Louise Designs . 'The first is the amount of light needed. Is it a big or small space? Tall or short ceiling? Are there other light fixtures around? Second, I think about the style of the house, whether it a traditional home or modern or somewhere in between. I will typically use the style of the home to guide the light fixture choice. Finally, I decide between a flush mount, sconce or pendant. This depends on the amount of space you have as well as the look you are trying to achieve.'

2. Consider materials

Consider the materials used for front yard lighting, which will influence the look as well as outdoor lighting cost.  

'Most people want lights that look like they've been part of the property for years,' explains Charlie Bowles from Original BTC . 'Natural materials with interesting patinas such as weathered bronze, copper and brass are the best choices as they are low maintenance, age well and weather beautifully.'

3. Illuminate flower borders

Solar garden lighting ideas can be the ideal way to show off plants after dusk falls. 'If you have landscaping or a garden out front that you are particularly proud of, make sure it’s visible night and day with landscape accent lights hidden among your plantings, or add stylish lampposts as interesting as your foliage,' recommends Mark Feldman, chief home officer of Riverbend Home .

4. Ensure garden steps can be seen

Keep garden steps safer to use after dark as part of front yard lighting ideas.

'If you are lucky enough to have walls at the side of your steps you have the perfect place to put your lights,’ explains Philip Milner, technical manager at Lighting For Gardens . T‘hey could be recessed into the walls to give you an uncluttered look, or if that isn’t practical, there are surface-mount lights available that don’t stick out too far. Some of the lights have built in eyelids to reduce glare.' 

5. Add lighting alongside a path

If your home is accessed via any sort of front yard walkway, then it is important to add lighting. Illuminating the path not only helps visitors find their way and reduces the potential for accidents, but it will also prevent them from accidentally trampling your lawn or flower bed ideas.

6. Consider easy-to-add solar lighting 

(Image credit: Kichler for Riverbend Home)

Unlike wired front yard lighting ideas, solar lights require very little effort to install. Simply position and place the attached panel in the sunlight. 

'Solar lighting is great for bringing a warm glow and sparkle to your garden and you don't need to think about plugging it in. The majority are on timers, too, so you don't have to remember to turn them on or off as they come on automatically at dusk and switch off six hours later,' says Thalia Shaw, founder of Sparkle Lighting . 

'You do need to have a bit of patience with solar lighting and make sure your lights have prime conditions to make sure they work including a clean solar panel at all times and plenty of direct sunlight with no shadows. They also sometimes need turning off for a while to give them plenty of opportunity to recharge.'

7. Add a decorative touch with festoon lights

Opt for outdoor string lighting ideas for the prettiest of illumination in the front yard. Festoon lighting looks beautiful draped over a rose arch, hedge or fence. Alternatively, opt for a freestanding design like these shepherd hook festoon lights to line a path.

8. Don't forget to install security lighting

Think garden security lighting as part of front yard lighting ideas to keep your property more secure. You can opt for floodlights, spotlights or wall-mounted lamps, and consider motion-activated lighting that will be triggered as necessary but won’t leave the exterior of your home constantly illuminated.

'Lighting is an effective and cost-efficient way to deter would-be burglars,' says Mark Feldman. ‘Use security floodlights to “flood” an area with bright light. Lanterns let people know you are home, whether positioned at the end of the driveway, near pathways, or beside the door.

'Ensure that all entries to your home are illuminated: wall lights on either side of a door, or ceiling lights on covered entryways provide perfect lighting to welcome people who you want at your door, and discourage those who you don’t.'

9. Flank your driveway with light

(Image credit: Annabelle James)

Drivers will appreciate the additional guidance of front yard lighting ideas as they approach your home, and it is a good idea to factor it into your driveway design before you start building rather than trying to install it later on.

'Exterior lighting for walkways, driveways and steps is far easier and more effective if you plan it in at the construction stage,’ says Piero De Marchis, director of Detail Lighting .

‘This not only gives you more options which are likely to be less intrusive, but it enables you to custom install cabling before anything is built. There’s nothing worse than having to channel through a perfectly set driveway or dig up the perfect lawn.’

10. Light up a living wall

(Image credit: Sparkle Lighting)

Climbing plants and living wall ideas are a beautiful way to add character and personality to the exterior of your home and they offer a great opportunity to incorporate decorative lighting into your front yard.

'If you have a climber with strong branches or if you have a trellis, you can attach the lights to the branches or panels using garden twine, wire or zip ties,’ says Thalia Shaw. ‘You won't be able to see the cable as they come in dark or light brown. Green leaves and sparkly fairy lights are just the perfect combination.’

How do I illuminate my front yard?

Adding solar lights is one of the easiest ways to illuminate your front yard. Add solar stakes to your borders and alongside a path or drive to provide pretty yet practical illumination. For a more significant addition, install motion activated security lighting to provide additional safety to your home – it will also prove useful when coming home at night. 

'Advances have made external lighting much easier to retrofit, cheaper to run and more resistant to the elements and condensation,’ says Piero De Marchis. ‘Retro-fitting LED lighting is of course possible and there are plenty of ways to do this. Discreet exterior in-ground path lights and spike lights are great lighting solutions that create interest and depth.' 

Does outdoor lighting increase home value?

Outdoor lighting can increase home value. ‘Well-thought out and properly installed front yard lighting can increase a property’s value by 20 per cent or more,’ says Ben Fisher, luxury real estate specialist at The Fisher Group. ‘It not only accentuates the architectural structure but also strengthens the security of your house.’  

'Well-thought out front yard lighting makes a home look more warm and welcoming,’ he adds. 

Outdoor lighting could also make a home easier to sell. 'Front yard lighting definitely adds a perceived value to your home, making it more desirable to buyers,’ says Bob Scott, founder of Sell Land . ‘The most common reason why is that it enhances the aesthetic and outdoor features of your home. With front yard lighting, you can choose to accentuate the best features in the area such as the garden, walkways, and door design. This increases your curb appeal and can invite more buyers in.'

All About Landscape Lighting - This Old House

You've pulled out all the stops to make your house and yard look first-rate. So why let that hard work disappear at nightfall. With a flick of a switch and some strategically placed outdoor house lights, you can roll back the darkness and put it all on display? Done right, landscape lighting makes the best of what you've got by highlighting your home's architectural features and drawing attention to prized plantings and trees.

What is the Best Landscape Lighting?

Most landscape lighting today is low voltage, and with good reason. Unlike 120-volt systems, it's safer to work with and less costly to install. And though low-voltage lights receive one-tenth the power, thanks to a step-down transformer, there's no limit to the effects they can achieve, from ethereal moonlight beamed down from a tree canopy to a subtle glow that washes over a low garden wall. More than just picking the right hardware, a pleasing lighting scheme is also about artistry.

Key Questions Answered

DIY or Hire a Pro?

Homeowners can put in a simple system in a weekend. For the most stunning effects, go with a landscape lighting specialist familiar with the various fixtures and ways to arrange them.

How Much Does it Cost to Install Outdoor Lighting?

Individual fixtures start around $20. Cables run 70 cents per foot, and a transformer can be had for about $200. A 10-light system installed by a pro typically starts at about $2,000 to $2,500.

How Much Maintenance is Required?

Keep fixtures free of leaves and debris to prevent them from overheating. Replace burned-out bulbs immediately so that others on the circuit aren't subject to life-shortening voltage overloads.

How Long Do Lighting Fixtures Last?

Warranties on fixtures and transformers range from one to 10 years, but fixtures made of brass, copper, or stainless steel should shine indefinitely.

How to Map out a Plan for Your Exterior Lights

Illustration by Arthur Mount

If you don't want to lift a finger, go with a pro. (Find one through the Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals.) But homeowners willing to invest a little of their own time and energy can save a bundle by following the advice of Mark Piantedosi, owner of Commonwealth Landscape Lighting in Acton, Massachusetts. Here are his top design tips:

Trees

Well, bullet, or flood, and downlight.

When aiming ground lights straight up into foliage, be sure to also bathe the trunk in light. If you don't, the uplit crown will look like a hovering UFO. When illuminating foliage from above, place two 20-watt downlights as high in a tree as possible and point them so that their beams do not cross.

Planting Beds

Garden.

Place fixtures no closer than 20 feet apart. "You want pools of light to guide your eye from one plant to the next, not continuous illumination. "

Home Facade

Bullet and wash.

Fit bullet lights with bulbs that have 12-degree beam spreads, and aim them at the corners of your house or architectural details; softer wash lights can fill in the space between them.

Garden Walls

Well, bullet, or flood.

Position fixtures close to the base so that the beams bring textures into sharp relief.

Focal Points

Flood, bullet, or wash.

Highlight an element that deserves attention—such as a fountain, a tree swing, or an arbor—by aiming two or more lights at it. The crossing beams reduce the harsh shadows that form when only one shines on an object.

Types of Outdoor House Lights

Garden

Canopies on top of 18- to 24-inch posts reflect light down into planting beds. Can also be used as pathway markers. Unlike other lights, their style and finish are on display.

Wash

Throws out a soft, diffuse light ideal for brightening flat facades, privacy fences, and garden walls.

Bullet

These versatile, compact fixtures are often fitted with bulbs that project a narrow beam—good for precisely lighting house features, tree trunks, and garden structures.

Well

Illustration by Arthur Mount

The bulb hides inside a waterproof housing buried in the ground, so you get light without seeing a fixture. Use well lights to illuminate the underside of plant foliage or graze the base of a facade or wall. Available with either fixed or swiveling bulbs.

Downlight

Illustration by Arthur Mount; Photo inset: Andrew McCaul

These fixtures, often located high on trunks and branches, can be aimed at lawns, paths, or the tree's own foliage to create a moonlit effect. A long, cowl-shaped shroud around the bulb eliminates side glare. Choose durable copper and brass housings with LEDs—you don't want to be climbing to make repairs or replacements.

Flood

Illustration by Arthur Mount; Photo inset: Andrew McCaul

Typically casts a wider beam than a bullet—40 degrees or more—and is brighter than a wash light. A collar minimizes side glare. Use sparingly to light up tall trees or wide house facades.

Should You Pay More for LEDs?

With no filament to break or burn out, LEDs can last 40,000 hours, approximately 20 years of regular use, compared with just two years for halogen bulbs. LEDs are also extremely efficient, sipping 1 to 11 watts of power versus 20 to 60 watts for halogens.

That means lower installation costs due to smaller transformers and cables, lower operating costs, and reduced maintenance, for up to a 50-percent savings over halogen systems in the course of 15 years.

But LEDs have their drawbacks, chiefly their high initial cost—about $40 per bulb, compared with about $5 for a similar halogen. Also, many LEDs have a cold blue light with a color temperature around 6,000 K (kelvins).

Look instead for a warm-color temperature, about 3,000 K. And don't forget to look at light output, in lumens, to make sure you're getting enough brightness. LED performance is improving, but it still lags behind that of halogens. Dismal output is the biggest knock against solar-powered fixtures, which all use LEDs. They might have enough glow to define a garden edge but not to light up your house.

5 Tips for DIYers

  1. Where to buy? All the components you need are available online at sites such as Landscape Lightwerks or VOLT.
  2. What skills do you need? Digging trenches and connecting fixtures and cables is straightforward stuff. But if you don't have a 20-amp GFCI-protected outdoor receptacle to plug the transformer into, hire a licensed electrician to install one.
  3. What size transformer? To determine the watt-capacity of your transformer, add up the total wattage of all the lights you plan to install and multiply by 1. 25.
  4. How to control the lights? Timers are the most reliable automatic switches; the best ones adjust for seasonal changes in day length. Wireless keypads and fobs are convenient ways to manually control your lights and, unlike hardwired switches, don't require an electrician to install them.
  5. How to ensure uniform brightness? Attaching fixtures to one cable in a daisy chain can overpower the lights closest to the transformer and leave the last few power-starved and dim. The solution: Run a 10-gauge cable out to a hub­­—a waterproof junction box­­—and branch out with equal lengths of 12-gauge cable. Keep the runs under 50 feet, and power should arrive at halogen fixtures in their sweet spot: 10.8 to 11.5 volts (for LEDs, 8 to 15 volts).

Low-voltage cables (left) must be buried at least 6 inches deep. A plastic spike (center) anchors the fixture (right) in the ground.

Landscape Lighting Design Ideas

Fetching Facade

Upward-facing bullet lights placed about a foot from the foundation focus attention on a house's most appealing architectural elements. Here, they are aimed at chunky porch columns, deep eaves, and dormers.

Trees less than 20 feet tall need only a couple of 20-watt uplights. A 50-foot tree may require three to five uplights of 35 to 50 watts apiece.

Inviting Backyard

The front of the house isn't the only place to use landscape lights. Here, tree-mounted downlights and upward-pointing well lights show off this tree's branch structure and invite people to come out and enjoy the swing.

Glowing Garden

To properly illuminate a bed, garden fixtures must be taller than the plantings, such as these succulents, that you want to showcase.

Party-Ready Patio

Because you can't just dial up a full moon, sometimes you need some extra illumination. In addition to providing light to grill by, a handful of tree-mounted lights bathe this stone patio in a mood-setting glow.

Sentences with the phrase "lantern illuminated"

“Pretty stupid of them,” said the Japanese. The beam of the flashlight illuminated the floor and the stairs going down. Numerous prints were clearly visible on the floor.

Are you up to something again? - the voice of the curator was heard just above the ear, and the beam of a powerful lantern illuminated our faces.

The beam of the flashlight illuminated several consoles, a partially collapsed viewing screen covered with a web of cracks, and a row of chairs, in the last of which a vacuum-preserved corpse in a spacesuit sat half-turned.

In the corner, on a plush chair, the owner was sitting, as if in a doctor's waiting room. The room floated in darkness, through the window, through the glass feathers of frost, the early evening shone thickly blue. Ivan, a quiet, corpulent servant who had recently shaved off his mustache, brought in a lamp filled with kerosene fire, put it on the table and soundlessly lowered a silk cage on it: a pink lampshade. For a moment, the tilted mirror reflected his illuminated ear and gray-haired hedgehog. Then he went out, softly creaking the door.

Then Sleptsov raised his hand from his knee and slowly looked at her. Between the fingers, a hardened drop of wax stuck to a thin fold of skin. He spread his fingers, the white scale cracked.

II

When the next morning, after a night spent in petty absurd dreams that were not at all related to his grief,
Sleptsov went out onto the cold veranda, the floorboard shot so merrily under his foot, and reflections of colored people lay like heavenly rhombuses on the whitewashed bench. glasses. The door did not give immediately, then it creaked sweetly, and a brilliant frost hit my face. Sand, like red cinnamon, was strewn with ice, sticking around the steps of the porch, and from the ledge of the roof, points down. thick icicles hung down, translucent with a greenish blue. Snowdrifts approached the very windows of the wing, tightly holding the deafened wooden building in a frosty vice. In front of the porch, the white domes of the flowerbeds swelled a little above the smooth snow, and farther on shone a high park, where every black twig was bordered with silver, and the fir trees pressed their green paws under a plump and sparkling load.

IV

He bent down again, greedily sorting out the children's handwriting, rising and turning in the margins.

Sleptsov got up. He shook his head, holding back an attack of terrible dry sobs.

He pulled out a handkerchief, wiped his eyes, beard, cheeks. There are dark streaks on the scarf.

And then the outstretched wings, bent at the ends, dark velvet, with four mica windows, sighed in a burst of tender, delightful, almost human happiness.

Task 19. Put all the punctuation marks: indicate all the numbers that should be replaced by commas in the sentence.

It was quiet in the house (1) and (2) if it were not for the bright fire in the window (3) one would think (4) that everyone was already sleeping there.

In this task, you need to put commas in a complex sentence with a coordinating and subordinating connection (there may be several main and several subordinate clauses).

1. We highlight the grammatical foundations:

It was quiet in the house (1) and

2. We put commas at the boundaries of sentences:

It was quiet in the house (,1) and (2) if it were not for the bright fire in the window (,3), one would think (,4) that everyone is already sleeping there.

The comma (2) is not put, because it stands at the "junction" of two unions, and in the continuation of the sentence there is TO (this or that)

3. We write out the numbers, in place of which commas should be in the sentence.

2) Fogs__ , //swirling and wriggling//, crawled== along the wrinkles of neighboring rocks.

3) //Holding a jug over her head//, a Georgian woman went down a narrow path== to the shore. Sometimes she__ slipped == between the stones, //laughing at her awkwardness//.

5) Suddenly she__ ran== past me, //singing something else//, and, // snapping her fingers//, ran== to the old woman.

6) My driver__ tears == //silently and slowly//. It is not isolated - here the verb sign of the additional action is lost, the meaning of the adverb appears (= slowly).

10) And day and night through the snowy desert I rush == headlong to you. It is not isolated - here is a phraseological turn.

I woke up on a gray morning. The room was filled with a steady yellow light, as if from a kerosene lamp. The light came from below, from the window, and illuminated the log ceiling most brightly.

The strange light, dim and motionless, was unlike the sun. It was the shining autumn leaves. During the windy and long night, the garden shed dry leaves, they lay in noisy piles on the ground and spread a dull glow. From this radiance, the faces of people seemed tanned, and the pages of the books on the table seemed to be covered with a layer of wax.

This is how autumn began. For me, it came right away this morning. Until then, I hardly noticed it: there was still no smell of rotten leaves in the garden, the water in the lakes did not turn green, and the burning hoarfrost did not yet lie in the morning on the plank roof.

Autumn came suddenly. This is how a feeling of happiness comes from the most inconspicuous things - from a distant steamboat whistle on the Oka River or from a random smile.

Autumn came by surprise and took possession of the earth - gardens and rivers, forests and air, fields and birds. Everything immediately became autumnal.

Tits were bustling about in the garden. Their scream was like breaking glass. They hung upside down on the branches and peered through the window from under the maple leaves.

Every morning migratory birds gathered in the garden like on an island. Whistling, screeching and croaking, there was a commotion in the branches. Only during the day it was quiet in the garden: restless birds flew south.

Falling leaves have begun. Leaves fell day and night. They then flew obliquely in the wind, then lay down vertically in the damp grass. The forests were drizzling with a rain of falling leaves. This rain has been going on for weeks. Only towards the end of September the copses were exposed, and through the thicket of trees the blue distance of the compressed fields became visible.

At the same time, old Prokhor, a fisherman and a basket maker (in Solotch almost all old people become basket makers with age), told me a tale about autumn. Until then, I had never heard this tale - Prokhor must have invented it himself.

“Look around you,” Prokhor told me, picking his bast shoes with an awl, “you look closely, dear man, than every bird or, say, some other living creature breathes. Look, explain. And they will say: I studied in vain. For example, a leaf flies off in the fall, and people are unaware that a person in this case is the main defendant. Man, let's say, invented gunpowder. Enemy tear it apart with that gunpowder! I myself also dabbled in gunpowder. In ancient times, the village blacksmiths forged the first gun, stuffed it with gunpowder, and that gun hit the fool. The fool was walking through the forest and saw how the orioles were flying under the sky, yellow cheerful birds were flying and whistling, inviting guests. The fool hit them with both trunks - and the golden fluff flew to the ground, fell on the forests, and the forests withered, withered and fell down overnight. And other leaves, where the bird's blood got, turned red and also crumbled. I suppose I saw in the forest - there is a yellow leaf and there is a red leaf. Until that time, all birds wintered with us. Even the crane did not go anywhere. And the forests both summer and winter stood in leaves, flowers and mushrooms. And there was snow. There was no winter, I say. Did not have! Why the hell did she surrender to us, winter, pray tell?! What is her interest? The fool killed the first bird - and the earth became sad. Since that time, leaf fall, and wet autumn, and leafy winds, and winters began. And the bird was frightened, flies away from us, offended by a person. So, dear, it turns out that we have harmed ourselves, and we need not to spoil anything, but to take good care of it.

– Well, let's say a different bird. Or a forest. Or water, so that there is transparency in it. Take care of everything, brother, otherwise you will be thrown by the earth and you will be thrown to death.

I studied autumn hard and long. In order to see for real, you need to convince yourself that you are seeing this for the first time in your life. It was the same with autumn. I assured myself that this autumn is the first and last in my life. This helped me to peer into it more closely and see much that I had not seen before, when the autumns passed, leaving no trace, except for the memory of slush and wet Moscow roofs.

I learned that autumn has mixed all the pure colors that exist on earth and applied them, like on a canvas, to the distant expanses of earth and sky.

I saw foliage, not only gold and purple, but also scarlet, purple, brown, black, gray and almost white. The colors seemed especially soft because of the autumn haze that hung motionless in the air. And when it rained, the softness of the colors gave way to brilliance. The sky, covered with clouds, still gave enough light so that the wet forests could ignite in the distance like crimson fires. In the pine thickets, the birch trees were shivering from the cold, showered with gold leaf. The echo from the blows of an ax, the distant hooting of women and the wind from the wings of a flying bird shook off this foliage. Around the trunks lay wide circles of fallen leaves. The trees were beginning to turn yellow below: I saw aspens, red below and still green at the top.

One autumn day I was riding a boat on Prorva. It was noon. The low sun hung in the south. Its oblique light fell on the dark water and reflected from it. Stripes of sunlight from the waves raised by the oars ran measuredly along the banks, rising from the water and fading in the tops of the trees. Bands of light penetrated the thicket of grasses and bushes, and for an instant the banks flared up with hundreds of colors, as if a sunbeam struck in placers of multi-colored ore. The light revealed either black shiny grass stalks with orange dried berries, then the fiery caps of fly agarics, as if spattered with chalk, then ingots of caked oak leaves and the red backs of ladybugs.

Often in autumn I would watch falling leaves closely to catch that imperceptible split second when a leaf separates from a branch and begins to fall to the ground. But I didn't succeed for a long time. I have read in old books about the sound of falling leaves, but I have never heard that sound. If the leaves rustled, it was only on the ground, under the feet of a person. The rustle of leaves in the air seemed to me as unbelievable as stories about hearing the grass grow in spring.

I was, of course, wrong. Time was needed so that the ear, dulled by the rattle of the city streets, could rest and catch the very clear and precise sounds of the autumn earth.

Late one evening I went out into the garden, to the well. I put a dim "bat" kerosene lantern on the log house and got some water. Leaves were floating in the bucket. They were everywhere. There was nowhere to get rid of them. Black bread from the bakery was brought with wet leaves stuck to it. The wind threw handfuls of leaves on the table, on the bed, on the floor, on the books, otherwise it was difficult for the paths of the garden to walk: one had to walk on the leaves as if in deep snow. We found leaves in the pockets of our raincoats, in our caps, in our hair, everywhere. We slept on them and soaked in their scent.

There are autumn nights, deafened and silent, when there is calm over the black wooded edge, and only the watchman's beater comes from the village outskirts.

It was just such a night. The lantern illuminated the well, the old maple under the fence, and the wind-torn nasturtium bush in the yellowed flower bed.

I looked at the maple tree and saw how a red leaf carefully and slowly separated from the branch, shuddered, stopped for a moment in the air and began to fall obliquely at my feet, slightly rustling and swaying. For the first time I heard the rustling of a falling leaf, a faint sound like a child's whisper.

Night stood over the hushed earth. The outpouring of starlight was bright, almost unbearable. The autumn constellations shone in the bucket of water and in the small window of the hut with the same intensity as in the sky.

The constellations of Perseus and Orion passed their slow way above the earth, trembled in the water of the lakes, dimmed in the thickets where wolves dozed, and were reflected on the scales of fish sleeping on the shallows in Staritsa and Prorva.

Green Sirius was lit up by dawn. His low fire was always tangled in the willow foliage. Jupiter was setting in the meadows over black haystacks and damp roads, and Saturn was rising from the other side of the sky, from the forests, forgotten and abandoned by man in autumn.

The starry night passed over the earth, dropping cold sparks of meteors, in the rustle of reeds, in the tart smell of autumn water.

At the end of autumn I met Prokhor on the Prorva. Gray-haired and shaggy, covered with fish scales, he sat under willow bushes and fished for perches.

Prokhor looked like a hundred years old, no less. He smiled with his toothless mouth, pulled a fat crazy perch out of his purse and patted his fat side - he boasted of his prey.

Until evening we fished together, ate stale bread and talked in an undertone about the recent forest fire.

It started near the village of Lopukhi, in a clearing where the mowers had forgotten the fire. Blew dry. The fire quickly drove north. He was moving at twenty kilometers an hour. It hummed like hundreds of aircraft strafing over the ground.

In the smoke-covered sky, the sun hung like a crimson spider on a dense gray web. Garr ate at his eyes. A slow rain of ash fell. It covered the river water with a gray coating. Sometimes birch leaves, turned into ashes, flew from the sky. They crumbled to dust at the slightest touch.

At night, a gloomy glow swirled in the east, cows mooed drearily around the yards, horses neighed, and white flares flashed on the horizon - these were the Red Army units, extinguishing the fire, warning each other of the approaching fire.

We were returning from Prorva in the evening. The sun was setting behind the Eye. Between us and the sun lay a dull silver streak. This sun was reflected in the thick autumn cobwebs that covered the meadows.

During the day, the web flew through the air, got tangled in the uncut grass, stuck with yarn on the oars, on the faces, on the rods, on the horns of the cows. It stretched from one bank of the Prorva to the other and slowly braided the river with light and sticky nets. In the mornings, dew settled on the cobwebs. Covered with cobwebs and dew, willows stood under the sun like fabulous trees transplanted to our lands from distant lands.

A small spider sat on each web. He wove a web while the wind carried him above the ground. He flew tens of kilometers on the web. It was a migration of spiders, much like the autumn migration of birds. But still no one knows why spiders fly every autumn, covering the ground with their finest yarn.

At home I washed the cobwebs off my face and lit the stove. The smell of birch smoke mingled with the smell of juniper. An old cricket sang, and mice crawled under the floor. They dragged rich stocks into their holes - forgotten crackers and cinders, sugar and petrified pieces of cheese.

I woke up in the middle of the night. The second roosters crowed, the fixed stars burned in their usual places, and the wind rustled cautiously over the garden, patiently waiting for the dawn.

One day, while returning home, I accidentally wandered into some unfamiliar estate. The sun was already hiding, and evening shadows were stretched on the flowering rye. Two rows of old, closely planted firs stood, forming a beautiful alley. I climbed over the hedge and walked along it, gliding over the spruce needles. It was quiet and dark, and only on the peaks here and there a bright golden light trembled and shimmered like a rainbow in the webs of a spider. I turned down a long linden alley. Here, too, desolation and old age. Last year's leaves rustled underfoot. To the right, in an old orchard, an oriole, reluctantly, in a weak voice, sang, probably also old. But now the limes are gone. I passed a house with a terrace, and suddenly a wonderful view opened up in front of me: a wide pond with a bath, a village on the other side, a high narrow bell tower.
