Foodie porn images from a Rivers 4th of July

We received the email invitation to Rivers Restaurant for their 4th of July Dinner: “Your 7-Course evening will begin with appetizers, and culminate with dessert and the largest fireworks display in Northern California.” Wow.

This is from a ridge overlooking Walgreens and Starbucks on Lake Blvd. Image taken with a fairly ordinary 200mm Nikon lens. You have to look hard in person, but…

Summer thunderstorm over Trinity County

BySkip@RR August 6, 2009

We took in dinner at Rivers and watched the lightning show from the patio. I wish I had my tripod, and some way to capture the lightning on camera. It was really spectacular. It wasn’t your typical Redding August evening view. Dinner was good too.
