Mt. Shasta from PCT on Mt. Ashland (May 24, 2025)

We took a walk on Mt. Ashland last weekend, hoping to see some wildflowers, but they haven’t begun yet. I brought the long lens for once.

It may not look like much of a kangaroo in this photo, but from a distance, seeing this deer on its hind legs for an extended period of time gave more of a kangaroo impression.

February 4, 2025 – Ashland, Oregon

Our home is a couple hundred feet above the bottom of town so we tend to get an inch or two of snow when other parts of town get little or nothing. However, in our 25 years, we haven’t ever had (although 2017 and 2021 had some fairly big dumps) as much as we got earlier this month. It’s still melting. Ironically, the major storm wasn’t predicted, and just a week before we were wondering whether this would be one of those years were we don’t get any snow.
