PhotoHunt: Wooden

photohunter7iq.pngThis week’s Photo Hunter Theme is Wooden.

I decided to use my Tiki Torch for this weeks’ Wooden Theme because it’s may be the only time I’ll ever get to use it!

I’m usually in bed by 8:00, long before dark in the summer!

I usually light it only on the rare evening that isn’t so humid that it drives us back inside to the air conditioning!

The Tiki Torch is never left unattended, and is always extinguished before retiring for the evening.

  1. The bottom part of that torch is wooden right? Not often we see these torches around homes :)

  5. Take care the fire it might cause. And you sleep kind of early huh. :)

  6. Don’t you worry about them burning so close to the house? I don’t think I’d be able to sleep. I remember after our barn burned in 93, I’d get up and prowl through the house at all hours of the night, scared to death something was burning.

  8. My dad has a few of those which he occasionally uses, though we owned them for 10 years before anyone thought of using them. :)

  10. it’s lovely to use that when weather permits, enjoying outdoors or having a relax evening. not too relax though, as you’ve mentioned one has to attend to it. this is great for garden affairs.

    happy weekend! :)

  12. I really like when I have an excuse to use mine – but mine are metal.

  13. It does look like the torch is awfully close to the house, but it’s probably just the angle.

    My sister-in-law has two daughters and they love to throw outside parties lined with Tiki torches.

  16. Nice! It look so nice and warm there. I can hardly wait for summer, to bring out the tiki torches! lol (Love the name of your blog, by the way.) Thanks for stopping by for my first Show and Tell Friday! Come on back for the Photo Hunt if you get a chance. ;o)

  17. I love tiki-torches! I don’t know why, they just make me think of pretty beaches, warm nights, and love!

  18. I don’t know if I can leave a witty comment but I’ll leave an honest one.
    I don’t why Tiki Torch always fascinate me. I always thought of having a nice rock porch and having a few Tiki Torches around.

    Mine is up.

  20. I don’t know if it’s the angle of the photo or what but the Tiki torch looks a little too close to the house… is it? Happy PH! :)

  22. Oh I so know what you mean. In Seattle there is a long period of summer where it stays light till 10:00 so I can’t use my outdoor lighting in my patio, etc. cuz it just doesn’t get dark enough before I want to be in bed…
    I’m glad you could use your tiki torch for the hunt! have a great weekend…

  26. Those are beautiful photographs. The tiki torch would be great when you’re outside on pleasant evenings. I have trouble with the humidity in the summer where I live. Have a great rest of your weekend.
