The JV1 and JV2 teams play at 5:45, and the varsity matches begin when they are finished sometime after 7 p.m. Today’s photo is from last week’s non-conference game against Hidden Valley High School.

Today’s photo comes from a flight back in May when I flew out of the Ashland airport on my way to the Oakland airport. This photo was actually taken on the return trip in the evening.

Not for me, but for my kids, today they go back to school after a summer break that included good times like the above. My summer break continues for another few weeks.

The Milky Way over Beatty, Oregon
I spent a couple nights over Labor Day Weekend at a friend’s ranch in Beatty, about two and a half hours east of Ashland. With no moon, clear skies, and no sizable population within 30+ miles the Milky Way was quite visible with the naked eye.
I am between tripods at the moment so I had to prop my camera up in some old manure to get this shot, a 15 second exposure (to avoid star trails) @ 24mm. Next time I will be sure to have a tripod and my 14-24mm lens so I can go for a 30 second exposure without star trails for hopefully better results.
