Sun star through the Japanese maples in autumn
Winter is cold, long, and bleak. I need to look at old photos like this one to remember what life was like just a little over a month ago.

Smooth and Shiny
Storm leaves Ashland Creek running through Lithia Park with tons of water to process. This spoon was found in this location in the gazebo along the creek near the band shell.
Ashland overlook in autumn from Hald Strawberry Park
A little over a month ago, Ashland looked like this from the trail that switches back and forth in Hald Strawberry Park. The scene isn’t as pretty now, but the landmarks of the Ashland Springs Hotel and the Elizabethan Theater in the OSF complex are still there of course. I should try this shot again the next time it snows in town.
Backyard buck
I wonder if this photo is of the same buck as this one a little over three months ago.

Full moon with Jupiter
Last week there was a full moon and Jupiter (the bright point below and to the left of the moon) was close to the moon. With a few wispy clouds buzzing across the sky it was all too much for me to resist so I headed out into the cold darkness for this photo.
Fall leaves are long gone now that we enter December
Now that we’ve begun the wettest and coldest time of the year, I really miss the other seasons. Today’s photo, from the Japanese maple tree in my backyard, is from less than a month ago.
Ashland panorama between storms
It’s not everyday that you get the chance to stand on the roof of a two-story, Victorian Italianate house built in 1883 near downtown Ashland. When that opportunity affords itself on a day (near the end of autumn) when half the town is getting rained on and the other half is under a bright blue sky you count yourself lucky. Today’s photo is about a 300 degree panorama I photomerged together. For loads more details click on the above image. Depending on your browser you may want to click on it again for even more detail. See if you can find the Ashland Springs Hotel, Wagner Butte, the Historic Ashland Armory, and Grizzly Peak. If you look really closely you can also see Puck’s Donuts, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Modern Barber Shop, and the Ashland Wine Cellar.
