Soothing Sights: Taking in soft-focus views, like this one of a Noe Valley acacia, will be our goal for the month of July as the Voice takes its annual summer vacation break. You’re off duty too until Aug. 15, when we’ll need your notices and news tips for the September 2012 edition. We’d also like to get your display ad space reservation made by then, too. Thanks for your support!    Photo by Najib Joe Hakim
