Solstice Sun
This year on | near the Summer Solstice, the sun was bright in the attic.
Must have been mommie’s night to put the kids down, and I was doing my first after dinner work check-in when an intense red light caused me to look up (not easy to do).
It kinda looked like this (from 3GS)

Grabbed a shot showing mark the Northern boundary of where it is relative to the attic. On the bottom left of this pic, you can see the Marin side of the Golden Gate, the fog creeping into the headlands.

Totally makes sense that Solstice is also the time of the year for ripe plums. Red, everywhere.
