Homecoming Weekend at SOU begins today

Homecoming events start today with the typical athletic events, dances, and, of course, what homecoming could be complete without a drag show?

Halloween house
Halloween house decorations featuring jack-o'-lanterns, cobwebs, skeletons, and more
My neighbor has been putting out jack-o’-lanterns again this year, but not at the rate of some prior years. I was wondering why there were baskets on top of these pumpkins until we put one out in front of our house the next day. Within minutes, deer were all over it. Maybe that’s why the numbers of jack-‘o-lanterns are down.
Birch trees in the fall
Birch trees on Ridge Road in Ashland, Oregon in autumn
I went for a fall photo shoot in Lithia Park on Sunday. Most trees aren’t at their peak yet, but some are. On my way home, as I headed down Ridge Rd., I looked up at the above birches trying unsuccessfully to completely block out the blue sky. I get a bit nostalgic around birch trees as we had three in my front yard as I was growing up.

SOU Soccer
Ashland had some nice weather on Thursday of last week so I headed over to the soccer field to watch the SOU ladies dominate the Trinity Lutheran University visiting team. After a generous crop and rotation I came up with the above image. However, I’m not sure if I like the “corrected” photo better than the original (below). What do you think?
BTW, this is Maddy Scott. My favorite part of the picture is when you make it larger by clicking on it you can see bits of airborne grass from the kick that have yet to settle.
Mt. Shasta from Mt. Ashland
Dusk settles in over Mount Shasta
Mt. Shasta is the wrong direction to watch the sunset from Mt. Ashland, but this is what it can look like at dusk from the northwest. I still need to get up there to see what it looks like at sunrise.
Fire in the Plunkett Center
Police tape surround Plunkett Center on SOU campus after fire
Yesterday there was an early morning fire in the Plunkett Center (Chappell-Swedenburg House built in 1904) on the corner of Mountain and Siskiyou. Luckily there were no injuries and the building wasn’t lost.
The set
Caryn Westrick sets the volleyball for Southern Oregon University
Freeze the perfect moment in a volleyball match and the perfect set looks an awful lot like a carry. 😉
Paulina Plunge Waterfall
Paulina Plunge Tour Waterfall
Today’s photo is of the first waterfall we encountered on the Paulina Plunge Tour near Bend in August. It was the only waterfall we didn’t jump in.
SOU Raider football has three wins in a row
Today’s photo sequence is from the first of those three wins. My Nikon D7000 can take up to 7 photos per second which allows this type of photography. With no big screen down on the field, taking a series of photos of the big plays and then watching them back on my camera was the best replay in the house.
