I told you a couple days ago that the parade in town for the fourth is a big deal. So big that the First Couple couldn’t get a good spot on the road and had to stand on a roof instead.
You may recognize this residence from a prior entry. They put penguins up there for winter. I’ll have to remember to take a picture of that scene someday.
Continuing yesterday’s style of showing you the same scene on a different day, today’s photograph is from Ridge Road looking West past Lithia Park below. Here is how it looked in a prior season:
The Great Salt Lake (in the distance) from a Fruit Heights neighborhood… The “mountain” in the lake is Antelope Island State Park.
Continuing my walk on Ridge Road from an entry 3 or 4 days ago, this is a view across Lithia Park from the east looking west. You can make out pieces of Strawberry Lane (where I took a nasty spill on my bike many years ago before they paved it) and Scenic Drive.
The nice thing about Ridge Road is you can see so many different things from it. Look to the south for nice views of Mt. Ashland and the Siskiyou Mountain Range; to the west you get Lithia Park (if you look down) and this; to the north is downtown, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and the Ashland Springs Hotel; and to the east you can see SOU, Grizzly Peak, and much more.
My favorite time to be in the sunroom isn’t when it is sunny. It gets too hot then and we have to use an awning to block the sun (and most of our view). This time of year when our Japanese Maple trees go nuts with color or during a rain storm are my favorite times of the year to curl up on the coach in the sunroom with a good book. My daughter, above, seems to agree.
For an exterior view taken on the same day see yesterday’s entry.
