Fallen Japanese maple leaves in autumn (Ashland, Oregon)

Fall came early this year as it hasn’t looked like this for over two weeks, maybe three.

We had snow in the mountains a couple days ago in September. But today’s photo is actually from April seven and a half years ago. The tree had autumn leaves, winter snow, and spring buds going simultaneously.

Today’s photo comes from early November 2012. I ride by this tree nearly every day on my bike, and it won’t be long before it looks like this again.

Today’s photo comes from a road trip we took almost eight years ago to the Oregon coast. Today we are embarking on a road trip in the other direction, toward Mt. Hood.

Today’s photo is from a 45 minute drive from Ashland. This photo is from seven years ago. I’m not sure if this marina exists anymore. Due to low water levels there are certainly times in which it is closed, but I don’t know if it’s temporary or permanent.

Today’s photo is of the wrong place (Portland) and time (autumn), but it kind of reminds me of today’s rainy day mood in Ashland.
