Grizzly Peak from Elkader Street

@SOUAshland

Today’s photo comes from November 2014. Construction is continuing on the Science Building on the SOU campus as you can see in this photo. The new Science Building will (supposedly) be ready in fall of this year.

View of Mt. Ashland from Roxy Ann Peak Trail

@mtashland @TravelOregon

The day before heading to Daytona, two weeks ago today, we took a walk up to the top of Roxy Ann Peak. Strangely enough, this was our first time up Roxy Ann Peak even though we have lived in the Rogue Valley for over 14 years now.

The weather forecast was for no rain. That’s not what the sky looked like. We didn’t get rained on, but it did begin raining the moment we got into the car at the end of our hike. This storm ultimately turned out to hold enough snow for the mountains that Mt. Ashland was able to open a few days later for the first time in two seasons.

Today is the big travel day. To Daytona we go with a practice once we get there. Today’s photo is of the plane last weekend that took us to Chicago. I took this during our fuel stop in South Dakota.

Emigrant Lake, Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, and Medford from Soda Mountain

Although this wasn’t the best time of day or best time of the year for a photo like this, the views from Soda Mountain are very good. Dusk or dawn from this location, particularly after fresh snow or once things have greened up in spring, and I imagine it is spectacular. Emigrant Lake is very low in this photo. The next weekend I went out and took this photo.

SOU’s Churchill Hall in autumn

@SOUAshland

Friday was the last day of this year to catch this scene. The leaves were falling fast and furiously (as you can see if you look really closely at today’s photo; those are leaves in the air, not birds), and the weekend was a windy one.
