My random, desktop image of the day is from nearly six years ago.

A: Distance wise, it’s a little, but not much, more than one tennis court.

Compare the above (taken last week but pretty much like this everyday) to my “normal” view here.

7-photo photomerge panorama of Ashland, Oregon

Before heading down the hill to work last Monday morning I climbed out a window and up to the top of my roof to capture this image.

For the details, click on the image a time or two.

The blossoms are all gone now, but last week (during a shower) they looked like they do in today’s photo.

Ten years ago this tree looked like this.

Now the little girl that was under that tree in 2005 drives the blossom-covered car pictured under this same tree.

No white Christmas this year. The current condition of today’s photo isn’t going to last for long.

Took a little trip to Jacksonville this past Sunday and forgot my camera. The skies were amazing and downtown Jacksonville was deserted so it would have been fantastic for photography. Alas, by the time we returned home to Ashland the sun had set and the only hope of capturing the glory of the skies on that day was to leave the shutter open for longer than I can hold a camera still. So I headed up onto the roof and set my camera on the top of my chimney for four seconds to achieve this result.

Grizzly Peak is a bit obscured by the tree just to the left of center. I have another photo from a different vantage point on this evening of Grizzly Peak that I’ll post at a later date.
