Mt. Ashland wildflowers

Today’s photo is from a little over five years ago. This was in my pre-RAW days or it could be better.

Paulina Creek Falls (Bend, Oregon)

My random, desktop image of the day is this one from five years ago.

I cringe when I look at the EXIF data on photos I took back then. The good news is I’ve learned from my mistakes.

@ButteCreekMill

Back in 2011 I posted some photos of our visit to Butte Creek Mill. A few days ago, an early morning fire wiped out the place. Today I’m posting a few more images (two of the interior and one of the exterior) from 2011. The fire photo is from the internet.

The first mill was constructed here in 1872. Some things from the original mill still survived until Christmas of 2015. Additions and changes to the building took place between 1912 and the 1930s. The mill had been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976. It’s all gone now. The current plan is to rebuild.

SOU campus

@SOUAshland

Today’s photo is from the archives, a bit over three years ago to be more specific. I haven’t recently looked at this direction sign closely, but I’m guessing the arrow pointing to Cascade Dining is gone as it hasn’t existed for almost two years. Soon the McNeal Pavilion will be coming down as well.

SOU softball – Julia Willison (back in 2012)

@SOU_Softball @SOURaiders @juliacoolia16

Coach Jessica Pistole makes her debut for the Raiders today. A new era begins with a much deeper team (20 players compared to last year’s 14), including seven freshmen on the roster. More details here.

P.S. “The Whole Picture” for what you see under the above “here” link can be found here.
