Ashland, Oregon – July 3, 2025

For several nights before the 4th of July, Ashland experienced some out-of-this-world sunsets. The above is actually looking east, in the opposite direction of the sunset. I imagine looking west (which we can’t really see from our home) would have been even better.

Upper Ruffey Lake panorama (California – June 2025)

The hike to this lake is a nice day trip from Ashland. About an hour and a half drive south of Ashland, you’ll want to start at the “Pacific Crest Trail – Etna Summit trailhead”. If 4+ miles isn’t enough for you, there are several longer options including summiting Etna Mountain (the far left peak–mostly hidden by trees in the foreground–in this photo), Smith Lake, and/or Meeks Meadow Lake.

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.
