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

SOU campus (Worland Stadium Plaza and Lithia Motors Pavilion) looking out on Grizzly Peak

The last couple years have been challenging photography wise because of the construction on the new Lithia Motors Pavilion. Football and soccer had an ugly, construction background for many angles, and while Ashland High School gym lighting isn’t the worst, it isn’t as good as the new pavilion on the Southern Oregon University campus.

You can check out the new digs, in less than three weeks, outdoors for the men’s soccer game (noon) on August 24 or indoors for volleyball (7 p.m.) on the same day.

Hoping for a smoke-free summer. The next 7+ weeks will be smoke free for me, but that’s because I won’t be in Ashland. Last year the smoke came late, as evidenced by this photo from early October.

If April showers bring May flowers, what do April snows bring?

We went for a hike on Wagner Butte on Saturday, expecting rain but receiving snow. Snow, instead of rain, was far more comfortable on this 10-mile hiking adventure.

I’ve done this trail before in sunny weather. Directions can be found here. Note that the bullet-ridden sign (top image in link) is no longer there so don’t be looking for it.
