Ashland Cemetery in Autumn
The fall season and cemeteries seem to go hand in hand. Neither looks quite right without the other.

Ashland Monster Dash 2012 5k winner
The 5k and 10k races of the 2012 Ashland Monster Dash began at the same time. Just to the left of center you can see the winner of the 10k race, Ryan Ghelfi, who finished more than 2 minutes faster than the next racer!
David Laney edged out Trevor Palmer (aka Popeye) to win the 5k race at yesterday’s 2012 Ashland Monster Dash.
Ashland High School football under the lights panorama
Tonight the Grizzlies play their final home game of the season against Eagle Point High School. Hopefully, it is a little more exciting than last time’s blow out.

Brookings Beach Birds
I took today’s photo four years ago today in Brookings, Oregon with my old Canon PowerShot S3. Fall on the Oregon Coast can be warmer than summer as there tends to be more sun and less fog.
Halloween House revisited
I have shown photos of this house, all decorated up with jack-o-lanterns for Halloween, several times before. Today’s photo is the 2012 version, before the number of pumpkins have become as large as it will as October progresses.
AHS Boys JV Soccer
After yesterday’s parade, I headed over to Ashland Middle School to watch some Ashland High School Soccer.
SOU Raider Hawk Logo
Today’s photo is a better look at the Raider Hawk in the new gym floor of the Bob Riehm Arena that I mentioned yesterday.
SOU Volleyball
This past Friday night I went to my first volleyball game in Southern Oregon University’s Bob Riehm Arena since the floor was redone. The Raider mascot logo is now on the middle of the floor, and it looks great. Liz Madden wasn’t anywhere near the floor when she made this kill in route to a 3-2, comeback victory for the Lady Raiders over Concordia University.
Imagine
John Lennon was born on this day in 1940. Today’s photo is of the John Lennon Memorial, located in “Strawberry Fields” in Central Park in New York City. I took this pic this past summer shortly before visiting The Dakota, where Lennon was shot and killed in 1980. The Dakota is right next to this part of Central Park.
Oakland A’s are in the playoffs
Has a more unlikely team than the 2012 Oakland Athletics ever made it to the postseason before?
Consider this…
They have the lowest payroll in the American League.
Their starting rotation consists entirely of rookies.
The rest of the team is made up of rookies and castoffs (players not wanted by other teams).
There really isn’t a single player who could be considered a “star”–let alone superstar.
They have the lowest team batting average in all of Major League Baseball.
The Anaheim Angels spent three times as much as the A’s, and it bought them third place in a four team division.
The Boston Red Sox spent even more than the Angels, and it bought them fourth place in a five team division.
Yet, despite all of this, the Oakland A’s have the best record in baseball since July and are heading to the postseason.
Today’s photo is of the Oakland Coliseum (now called the O.Co)–considered the worst stadium in MLB, it’s my favorite place to be. 😉
I took this panorama back in May (when no one believed the A’s would be in their current position). Brandon McCarthy was pitching and Prince Fielder was at bat for the Detroit Tigers.
