Ashland Creek in Lithia Park
Photo taken in August of 2008.
Almost 10 years ago the Ashland Creek flooded downtown Ashland. The creek is pretty tame in August. I find it more exciting during a rainstorm or on a warm day in spring when the snow is melting quickly.
Clouds over Grizzly

Ashland’s unique location, between two mountain ranges, provides for some interesting shadows and cloud formations.
Crazy clouds
The last few days have been very sunny but very cold–Winter cold not Fall cold. The mountains even got a bit of snow (photos coming soon).
This is SOU’s Raider Stadium. SOU had a football game Friday or Saturday night, but it was far too cold to think about going.
Fall apples
This is the final installment from my daughter’s first photography class. She found some fallen apples in a forgotten garden. I like how she centered in on the one that wasn’t rotten but didn’t leave out the others. The colors are very rich. Organic produce gone crazy…
Bee
This is the second of three shots my daughter took that I will share with you. I like tomorrow’s the best so stay tuned.
Crater Lake
My 10-year old daughter is in an after school photography class. For the next few days I’ll showcase some of her work. She took the above picture yesterday on her class field trip to Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the U.S.A. and ninth deepest in the world. Crater Lake is the third deepest lake in the world and deepest in the Western Hemisphere if the average depth is used as the measuring criteria.
I was hoping that there would be snow along the rim, but, as you can see, it hasn’t stuck yet. Later in the day it started snowing rather heavily, and they made their exit while they still could.
Crater Lake is northeast of Ashland in Southern Oregon. The island you see in the middle is known as Wizard Island.
Sunrise
The sun is about to rise. The 7 a.m. flights from Medford to San Francisco have left their marks on the sky.
Tree in bloom
Photo taken in March 2005
This was our old cherry tree in the peak of its glory. A couple of winters ago we had a huge snow storm that caused such heavy and sticky snow that every branch on this tree broke (as did many in town). It is slowly making a comeback. Perhaps I’ll show some pictures of it in the storm here in this blog this coming winter and then how it looks next March when it blooms again.
Mt. Shasta
Photo taken October 2004
About an hour to the south of Ashland in the Cascade Mountain Range lies, or rather rises, Mount Shasta. The above photo is from high on the mountain itself. For a more distant view of the famous mountain see these pictures.
Although my son looks to be in pain he is actually quite happy that he has made it up this far.
