We haven’t had any snow stick in Ashland yet, but it won’t be long now.

Pilot Rock (near the California border) on the right with Emigrant Lake down below (April 2024)

If memory serves, I took today’s photo more so that I could look up the names of the mountains I was unfamiliar with than for the scene.

Is that Black Mountain just to the left of Pilot Rock (in the foreground) and Cottonwood Peak just to the right?

Looking east in Ashland, Oregon

I’ve posted this view many times before, usually a sunrise. However, sometimes a look to the east can be nice even as the sun is setting in the opposite direction.

Lithia Park (October 17, 2024)

I brought my camera to the park last week. Very few trees had changed color then, but it won’t be long until Lithia Park is at its peak. Look closely for one of the dozen or so deer I encountered.

View from Mt. Ashland (August 2024)

10 years, almost to the day, of taking this photo (and a bunch of others showing Mt. Ashland covered in wildflowers in August), we headed back up there last month to find not a single wildflower. Did they peak in July this year? I don’t know.
