Pink shade which I don't see much often in Japanese lanterns.

the lanterns look soo delicate I wonder if they catch on fire easily?

These lanterns are wonderful!

Love how you have captured the soft inner glow of the lanterns! Just lovely!

An exquisite photo. You really captured the mood. Here's my Photo Hunt for the day. I'll bet you never heard of this kind of hanging before!

Beautiful, beautful shot. I love it!

The lanterns look beautiful.

Cool. I been thinking of getting some similar lanterns to use in a couple of photo's I want to take.

Nice and colorful for the theme.

Pretty! I'm a worrier like Marcia, though. We once bought a paper lantern but I couldn't talk myself into using it because I was afraid it would catch fire!!!

What lovely lanterns! Thx for dropping by to comment. Have a wonderful weekend. :D

these are pretty looking lanterns and more beautiful when they're litted. Like most, I too worry if they caught fire...

Pearl - have a good weekend

I always love your photos, so I nominated you for an Excellence in Blogging award. More about it is on my page, if you're interested.

how beautiful they look, bet they look even nicer during the night

thanks for your visit

Thanks everyone for your comments!

Lynn- You're right, I don't see pink ones very often.

Marcia, Nancy and Pearl- Funny, I've never given any thought to how flammable they might be. I've used paper lanterns as light covers indoors many times over the years. You usually can't use the really high watt bulbs but otherwise I've never had any problems. :)

Bibliolatrist- Thank you! :)

2lives- I'm sure they would've been very pretty at night but we didn't really have time to stay later that day. Maybe next year..

Nice deco - I don't see those too often 'round here.

Janet,  Tue Jul 29, 02:19:00 AM  

beautiful, beautiful lanterns!!!
