Why is the Camp McLoughlin spelling different from the mountain’s spelling? I don’t know. It turns out it isn’t. I’ve been spelling Mt. McLoughlin wrong all this time.

A view from the backyard as a deer attempts to frolic on our neighbor’s play equipment. Grizzly Peak can be seen in the background.

Friday was one of those weird weather days photographers dream about. The wind was blowing so the air was clear, the clouds were going crazy but still leaving some blue sky and rays of sunlight, and rainbows even started springing up in places. I climbed out onto the roof to take advantage of the situation.

Greylock Mountain as seen from a frozen and snow covered Lake of the Woods, Oregon

The view from the other side of the lake looking back to this position, during a different season, can be seen here.

We spent today at “Snow Capades” which is held at Camp McLoughlin at Lake of the Woods about an hour east of Ashland. I’ll have some more pictures from today’s adventures in the coming weeks.

My daughter took this picture a couple summers ago. We haven’t seen any fawns yet this year but it shouldn’t be long now.

One of the reasons for showing you so many pictures of Seattle the past week or two is that there hasn’t been much to photograph in Ashland of late. December and January offer the least attractive glimpses of this town, with the exception of when it snows and the mountains are powdered but not concealed with clouds and/or fog. Otherwise it is too foggy/cloudy to see much or the hills look brownish and the skies look more gray than blue. Sunrises can still be pretty though. Here is one from last week. A half hour after taking this photograph our house was surrounded by fog and we couldn’t see a thing.
