For some reason I’ve never been in town when the Ashland Monster Dash has happened. Last year we were in Portland. So this was my first, and it was funner than expected–even without any blue in the sky.
I have hundreds of decent images from this morning’s races and costume contest so I’ll be posting many over the coming days.
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.

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.
Saturday afternoon at Raider Stadium in Ashland will feature a big game. SOU is coming off three consecutive victories in which they scored 60+ points–something which has never been done before in college football in Oregon. Not even the Oregon Ducks can make such a claim.
Southern Oregon University’s opponent will be a formidable one however. The Carroll College Saints are ranked in the top 10 and have won the NAIA National Championship for football 6 times (all in the past 10 years!). This should be a good game.
Ashland has had a change in weather over the past few days. This is not so good for those of us who like the warmer temperatures, but it is great for photography with the crazy clouds, different lighting, and unpredictable colors that come with. I took today’s photo before the sunrise when the sky was going bonkers for a few minutes.
My little girl is in a volleyball tournament on the Oregon Coast this weekend. Today’s photo is from this past Thursday night in the Ashland High School Gym.
Near the end of the last school year, construction began on a new “gateway” sign for Southern Oregon University on the corner of Siskiyou Boulevard and Mountain Avenue. It took months before the project was complete, but the new sign was ready before courses began again at SOU in September. Now that the landscaping doesn’t look so brand new and artificially placed, I decided to take a photo of it on a glorious fall afternoon earlier this week. The Plunkett Center can be seen a bit through the leaves in today’s pic.
Took a little trip to Jacksonville this past Sunday and forgot my camera. The skies were amazing and downtown Jacksonville was deserted so it would have been fantastic for photography. Alas, by the time we returned home to Ashland the sun had set and the only hope of capturing the glory of the skies on that day was to leave the shutter open for longer than I can hold a camera still. So I headed up onto the roof and set my camera on the top of my chimney for four seconds to achieve this result.
Grizzly Peak is a bit obscured by the tree just to the left of center. I have another photo from a different vantage point on this evening of Grizzly Peak that I’ll post at a later date.
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.
