Looking down I-5
I have shown you a picture from this location on this November morning before, but I think I like the sky in this version a little more.

Main Street
East Main Street in Ashland features many of Ashland’s well-known places such as the Ashland Springs Hotel, Travel Essentials, and the Columbia Hotel. The latter two are in the Enders Building (on the National Register of Historic Places), built in 1910. I believe the Columbia Hotel has been running in this location for over a hundred years now. Also notice the Oregon Shakespeare Festival heraldic banner.
End of volleyball season
Yesterday was the last tournament of the season for mOcean volleyball. This one was held at the North Medford High School gym, home of the Black Tornado. My bum is ready to rejoice for not having to sit on a hard, bleacher seat for hours on end any longer.
Zoey’s Cafe & All Natural Ice Cream (in the snow)
When the temperature falls below freezing, is ice cream really what you crave? Probably not, but in the summer there are far more people at this ice cream parlor in Ashland. It was called BJ’s until about six years ago. I think Zoey is the name of the “new” owner. They still serve BJ’s ice cream (from Florence, Oregon).
Breakfast View
Today was raining, but this past weekend featured some really nice blue skies to go along with snow. I’ve shown this view before. It’s the scene from my dining room while I’m eating breakfast. Every day looks different and this one was a good one.
Varsity Theatre
The Ashland Independent Film Festival is just around the corner. This will be the 10th year for the annual festival. Most showings take place in the art-deco Varsity Theatre, pictured here, in downtown Ashland. The neon lights have been burning brightly on this theater since 1937.
Tennis anyone?
Saturday morning featured a beautiful, blue sky and temperatures in the 20s. Very little snow melted, due to the temperature, which is very unusual for sunny, winter days in Ashland.
Skating in the Park
For the last few days you had your choice of skating (per the blue sign), skiing, snow shoeing, or snow booting it through Lithia Park. I chose the latter although the others sounded funner.
The buildings in the background are part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Jacksonville Christmas
I took some photos of Jacksonville during the Christmas season and then completely forgot about them. This is a night shot which I didn’t think would come out, given the dense fog, but the photo came out OK anyway. A closer view during the daytime can be found here.
Softball
I took my first swings of the year yesterday. Felt great. They weren’t at the field pictured above, which is where we have our games in Medford. They were in Ashland at the Iowa Street fields. The view was beautiful. It looked like this as the snow from a few days back has yet to melt on the top of Grizzly Peak. Alas, I didn’t have my camera with me so I have no real photos of the day.
