Last night Jered Weaver of the Los Angeles Angels no hit the Minnesota Twins. Today’s photo is from a couple weeks ago when Weaver shutout my Oakland A’s in Anaheim. Weaver recorded his 1,000th career strikeout on that evening.
Today’s photo comes from my San Francisco trip a few weeks ago. This Medusa art is just off of Haight Street, near the Haight-Ashbury intersection. I think it was on Masonic Avenue.
More graffiti art here…
It’s now May so the temperatures are a bit warmer on average, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the snow or that there isn’t still a lot of snow on Mt. Ashland. In fact, there is more snow up on Mount A now (and the ski season ended on April 22) than when I took today’s photo back in January, when there was such a lack of snow on Mt. Ashland the slopes were not open for skiing. For the photo just after this one click here.
I went back to the same location as this prior image to give this panorama shot another try without so much sun. This time I photomerged images taken at 24mm (on a crop sensor) instead of 11mm.
There is a bird flying through this photo just right of center. I think that is Pompadour Bluff in the center.
I spent the last couple days in the San Francisco Bay Area. The highlight of the trip was the Mastodon/Opeth/Ghost show at the Fox Theater, a beautiful venue built almost 100 years ago and recently restored. I’ll be posting more photos from the concert on my other blog.
Watched my first high school softball game earlier this week at North Mountain Park.
Tonight is the annual International Show on the Southern Oregon University campus. I will be out of town and unable to attend this year’s performance. If you are in Ashland, you should check it out. The International Show is free, but sometimes it fills up well before and people are turned away. The show kicks off at 7 p.m. in the SOU Music Recital Hall. Get there by 6:40 if you want to be sure of getting a seat. Arrive before 6:30 (when the doors open) if you want a good seat.
Ashland had some exciting weather a few nights ago. This was the view out my window.
One of my first test shots with my new (to me) 24-70mm f/2.8G Lens… I took this photo this past weekend right on the border of Phoenix and Talent, just north of Ashland.
The Victorian on the right is for sale. You should buy it, and paint it some groovy color (as this is in the Haight-Ashbury District).
