Took this image yesterday. Not overly colorful or bright for a Whiskeytown Lake sunset. More subtle and tranquil.
These are sized 1920 X 1200 for a Desktop Background image, although they are rather dark for my tastes. But feel free to use either, if you like.
Earlier we attended a dinner party in west Redding. This was the view from the pool:
Sublime sunset reflections. That’s Really Redding.
Follow Alicia from Redding to… Uganda?
I need to bring Alicia’s excellent blog, Pedals and Pencils, to your attention.
Redding teacher/writer/blogger Alica McCauley is spending her summer on an epic journey to Uganda. Her writing is always terrific, and has been even more interesting as the story unfolds.
http://pedalsandpencils.com/
Recently, there was an article in the local paper about her plans.
http://www.redding.com/news/2012/jun/05/boulder-creek-teacher-plans-to-help-students-in/
Oddly, it failed to mention her blog at all. You can start on any of her posts for a richly rewarding read. But if you are most intrigued about her recent journeys, you might start here and read forward:

Very highly recommended, and quite inspiring. Safe journey, Alica.
You’re Really Redding.

A Springtime Quail Love Song does the trick
I was waiting for a client to arrive for a showing at a home for sale in Bella Vista. Out back, this lonely male was singing his Springtime Lovesong, from the top of a propane tank.
Evidently, to good effect.
“Hey, hey! Where are you going?”

Rooftop outdoor living, Redding style
Like the rooftop terraces in Rome, this Redding ranch style home boasts an outdoor setting with a view.
Okay, so it’s a little slanted at an angle, and the view is of Lake Boulevard, but it’s different.
As seen Saturday. Careful you don’t roll off the “terrace” and into the trashbins. Hey, it’s not a flaw, it’s a convenience.
