4th of July 2009 Mt Shasta style

BySkip@RR July 4, 2009June 21, 2014

We went up to the city of Mt Shasta for 4th of July. While this is not ‘Really Redding,’ it is typically cooler up here and filled with Reddingites anyway, since it’s just an hour north. They have a terrific 5 mile run, and 2 mile Fun Walk. We chose the fun. So did many others…

There’s all kinds of entertainment and food along the way.

And since it’s always good to name-drop on my blog, here’s KRCR Accuweather-Ace Mike Krueger, along with the youngest Krueger.

A good time was had by all. Have a happy and safe Independence Day wherever you are!

Stretching out her arm as if to implore the heavens, as solemn citizens in the foreground stand. Left, our mayor…

A few Redding area Fall color images

This ride up north on Shasta View to Lema Ranch has to be one of the nicest around here for Fall colors this time of year. And this image comes from Churn Creek Bottom yesterday as the sun set. Nice.

How curious is the nest: no other bird Uses such loose materials or weaves Its dwelling in such spots – dead oaken leaves Are placed without and velvet moss within And little scraps of grass and, scant and spare, What scarcely seem materials, down and hair. Snug lie her curious eggs in number five Of…

Greenish bird with red topknot comes knocking

BySkip@RR November 5, 2013November 5, 2013

I don’t know what kind of bird this is, but it really seems to want to come inside the house. The red topknot folds down into a red spot when not in use. Persistent bird has been tapping on the window for most of 2 days now. Click to enlarge. Not getting much work done…

New music widget

BySkip@RR October 27, 2008March 14, 2012

Cloud Study v2 by SkipMurphy I found a new music widget, and thought I’d try it out. This is an unfinished pieced titled Cloud Study, I’ve been working on, and now posted on SoundCloud. Worth a listen perhaps while looking at old photos of Shasta County at the Shasta Historical Society’s website. They have hundreds…

A classic Redding weekend

BySkip@RR April 19, 2010

The weather was perfect. The cars were fabulous. There is not much to say about Kool April Nights that has not already been said. Just another reason why Redding is the greatest place to live ever. I took a great many shots, and here’s just a few. Kool April Nights 2010. It’s Really Redding.
