I wonder if this photo is of the same buck as this one a little over three months ago.
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.
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.
This year’s campus theme at SOU is “Happiness”, and the Annual Stevenson Union Photo Contest is for photos dealing in some way with happiness. I can’t win the contest since I am faculty and not a student, but I thought it would be fun to enter anyway. I submitted four photos, and this was one of them. I’m looking forward to seeing the chosen photos on display early next year.
This is a pic of the Ashland High School varsity volleyball team this past season.
I mentioned on my other blog several weeks ago that I did some photography for a friend who is opening a catering business in Ashland. Maybe catering isn’t the right word. She is opening a bakery of sorts, but she is doing the baking out of her own home so bakery isn’t quite the correct way to put it either. Anyway, she is now open for business so if you live in or near Ashland and are in need of the best cake, muffins, cookies, scones, sticky buns, tarts, cheesecake, morning buns, or cupcakes you have ever had then check out Jolene’s Sweets.
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.
