"It's not too far from Paradise,
...at least it's not for me." -from Sailing by Christopher Cross
Photos taken at Paradise Lake, Paradise, CA.
Thanks for visiting.
I hope that, for you too, it's not too far from Paradise.
Have a great new week.
Chris Cross... love him. Hasn't been paradise around here, too much rain... but it's keeping the temps bearable. That's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures keep getting more idyllic, although I prefer a lake to have ducks in it. It gives me someone to talk to.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the middle picture the first thing that came to my mind was fishing for small mouth bass. That place definitely looks inviting.
ReplyDeleteI can envision a get together with friends and family around that lake, sipping some wine, roasting some marshmallows and telling ghost stories.
Fun!
That does look like a place I could call paradise too, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think I know why this place is known as paradise Robyn, these photos are incredibly beautiful, I can't think of anything in Ireland that's as beautiful looking as this place seems, this is one of the reasons why I always regard California as one of the prettiest places in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cool and refreshing... Dying back here in the humidity.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture reminds me of early morning, like right now, on a Sunday... and I LOVE Christopher Cross! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteVery relaxing photos.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous scenery. The name is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like paradise. Thanks for the refreshing views.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely looks like paradise to me! Wonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I am lucky to have paradise so closeby.
ReplyDeleteMsA and Yvonne, I love Christopher Cross too. That song is one of my favorites.
GB, it was strangely, peacefully quiet.
Jeremy, yes, there's tons of fishing in that Lake. It's very odd that we didn't see any boats or fisherpeople.
Del, thanks. I agree.
YW, CA's weather and landscape are awesome. I wouldn't mind swapping homes for a week or so, though. I hear Ireland's pretty great too.
Alex, sorry. Humidity is really miserable.
Wayne, yes. I needed it and figured my blog friends do too.
Tara, Laurie, and Heather, thank you. It couldn't be more aptly named. I wish I could put the pine air into this post too.

Mine is far far away from paradise, maybe one day I'll get closer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteLooks like paradise to me. And I love that song by Christopher Cross.
ReplyDeleteSure likes paradise to me... although anywhere with sunshine and summer would be paradise for me at the moment.

That second photo makes me happy! What a lovely spot.
ReplyDeleteI love living in Paradise and yes, there are fish in the lake. Ask the bear that swims there. Paradise Post printed a photo of the wet bruin.
ReplyDeleteDrats. To the last woman who commented - a neighbor (in Chico), I didn't mean to delete your message. Some weirdo left a bizarre comment and I accidentally deleted both. Sorry. I couldn't find your blog because your profile isn't accessible.
ReplyDeleteTo everyone else, thank you. I hope you're having a great week.

I love the gorgeous pictures. They look so peaceful. I thought no one remembered Christopher Cross but me! lol
ReplyDeleteMiami reminds me of our Gold Coast here in Australia. Being a huge Dexter fan, I'm becoming quite fond of Miami :)
ReplyDeleteVery serene shots Robyn...sorry I've been so absent but I scrolled down my reader list til I found your post and here I am! You can't get rid of me by hiding at the lake, ya know!!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a pretty place Robyn!
ReplyDeleteThat Paradise Lake could be my Lake Wazeecha. Who knew part of Cali could look so much like part of Wisconsin!?!?!
ReplyDeleteWow, those pictures are beautiful!! You are one lucky lady to live there. :)
