During my ride around Crater Lake last Saturday I pulled over to take a photo of the lake, and this little one came scampering up the side of the caldera, seemingly for the sole reason of getting its picture taken.

Something today from a couple weekends ago when we hung out at our friends’ ranch in Beatty, Oregon.

About an hour and half drive south of Ashland on I-5 will put you in Castle Crags State Park. There are several hikes to choose from; we did Castle Dome and Indian Springs which total about 6 miles. That may not sound like much, but with over 2,200 feet of elevation gain (and, of course, decent as well) this is a strenuous hike. The views are totally worth it though.

Indian Springs is probably skipped by most, but I found that little piece of the hike to be totally worth it (on the way down).

…I was supposed to be shooting a regatta on Emigrant Lake in Ashland, but sometimes I got distracted.

Today’s photo comes from almost four years ago and about two hours east of Ashland.

Ashland has The Wild Goose, but today’s photo is from over the pass in Klamath Falls. I took this photo on the same day last spring when I went to shoot Clark’s Grebes.
