Redding Crew, originally uploaded by ronWLS.

Today I led a group photo walk. It was part of the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk which he has organized the past 3 years. I’m glad that i did it. I wanted to do it last year but didn’t feel like I could but felt OK this year. I put together a route through downtown and in the process learned some of the local history.

Met some great people and hopefully some of us will see more of each other. I believe some will join the Shasta Photo Club. Anyways it was a great experience and I look forward to the next one.

Just 6 more days till the 24th of July and the 3rd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. This is the photoshop guru and prolific author brainchild. I just missed getting in an application last year but made it this year. Here is where we will start the Redding walk. We’ll be meeting at the Westside Java & Caffe and end our walk about 2 hours later at Grilla Bites. As of Sunday night we have 32 signed up and 18 more spots open. Should be a great time!

I had to turn around and find a place to get a shot of this cloud. It was just too interesting to resist. I believe there were some thunderstorms this day as there often is over Mt Lassen.

Here is one from Marketfest and the Zydeco band that played. I really didn’t like how it turned out so I used a photoshop artistic filter and give it the filmgrain effect.

Coming home after a day (an hour or two) of clown marketing (standing on the side of the road). Nice clown colors.

The colors just kind of struck me this day looking out the office window.

The garden looks way better than this photo attempts to show. Joey has been hard at work the past 3 or 4 weeks and here by the pool she’s put bricks and stones around the garden area and made planters with old drawers and an old wicker waste basket. It all looks way cool

A friend found this old apple press in a barn the other day. He is going to clean it up and get it working but he let me take some shots before he did. Nice old piece of iron.

The great thing about the long spring time this year is a lot of clouds that make for a lot of days with interesting skies. It just adds to the photo without a plain blue or gray sky.
