Looking down I-5
I have shown you a picture from this location on this November morning before, but I think I like the sky in this version a little more.

Blue sky and snow
Blue sky normally means instant death to snow in Ashland, but we were treated to a rare spectacle in late February. Today (March 9) Grizzly Peak, although still snow capped, looked a bit green and we hit 60 degrees, a sure sign that Spring is not far away.
Ashland School Closures (or not)
We have more snow today than yesterday on the roads, and it is several degrees colder. But yesterday school was cancelled and today the Ashland School District will be in session. My kids are disappointed.
No school today
All classes have been cancelled in the Ashland School District today. SOU hasn’t made an announcement yet. I’m not teaching today, but I’m guessing SOU will close as well.
Today’s photo is the view from my computer chair just a few minutes ago. You can’t really see it in the picture, but the snow is coming down fast and furiously.
A light dusting
Our “false spring” of the past few weeks appears to be over. After at least a dozen days in the past three weeks of 50 degrees or more, including one or two that went over 60 degrees, it may be a while before we see 50 degrees again.
February Sunrise
We’ve been having some nice sunrises recently.
Just a girl and her dog…
…and some ice under a blue sky at Lake of the Woods.
Lithia Park Duck Pond
I don’t know where all the ducks are in this recent photo, but usually the upper duck pond in Lithia Park is teaming with them. Since returning from Japan, I’ve noticed the duck pond to also be well stocked with koi. Also, the water is no longer green. When did these things happen?
Moss covered, bumpy tree
I hope you don’t mind if I share Seattle photos with you for a couple weeks. This picture could have been taken in Ashland I suppose. The Pacific Northwest shares some common, or at least similar, scenes.
I took this pic on a little trail in Washington Park, just to the west of the Japanese Garden.
Forces of nature
I went for a walk yesterday in the late afternoon. This was the view looking north (and maybe slightly west) towards Medford from above the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The sky was going through sort of a pre-sunset. The clouds seemed to be coming off the mountain, almost like a fire.
