Ashland, Oregon (November 20, 2025)

Just over a week ago, the skies were looking good, and the fall colors weren’t completely gone, so I headed over the freeway for this view of Ashland, hoping to see the fresh snow on Mt. Ashland as well. Unfortunately, Mt. Ashland was obscured by clouds, but the rest looked pretty good for this late in autumn.

Looking north from Lewis Loops (Gyre) Trail

My hiking companion on the day this image was created questioned why I would want to do such a thing as capture this scene. Which is why I prefer to hike alone.

Autumn in the backyard

I asked A.I. what the bear scat in the foreground was, and the response is why you NEVER want to trust A.I.

“The image appears to show two pieces of a savory loaf, possibly a meatloaf or a vegetarian nut/lentil loaf, on a bed of dried leaves. The texture is chunky, suggesting ingredients like ground meat, nuts, or lentils.

• The dish has a coarse, crumbly texture with visible pieces of potential ingredients such as nuts, beans, or dried fruits.
• The appearance is consistent with homemade, hearty dishes often prepared for holidays or comfort food meals.
• It could potentially be a “feetloaf,” a popular Halloween dish where meatloaf is molded into the shape of feet.”
