A couple of Saturdays ago we were having a most unusual cloud day that include much sunshine as well. I went up on the roof and took a few pictures. This is one of them. More to come from the roof in the future.

While the upcoming election has taken over the front yards of most houses in town, Halloween is winning the battle in this home’s front yard on Siskiyou Boulevard.

Almost 10 years ago the Ashland Creek flooded downtown Ashland. The creek is pretty tame in August. I find it more exciting during a rainstorm or on a warm day in spring when the snow is melting quickly.

Jessica Kuehlwien is the SOU keeper this year. Although only a Freshman she is something else. I’ve watched about 4 hours of SOU Soccer this year and she has yet to allow a goal while I’ve been there. Her saves tend to be on the heroic side too with crazy leaps or dives like this one.

SOU won this game against Evergreen College in double overtime 1-0. If you check out a game this season don’t expect it to be high scoring. It’s a young team with a great goalie.

Ashland’s unique location, between two mountain ranges, provides for some interesting shadows and cloud formations.

I thought some people were doing Tai Chi in Lithia Park (as that is a very common sight). However, when they broke out a sword I had to wonder whether it was actually something else.

The last few days have been very sunny but very cold–Winter cold not Fall cold. The mountains even got a bit of snow (photos coming soon).

This is SOU’s Raider Stadium. SOU had a football game Friday or Saturday night, but it was far too cold to think about going.

This is the final installment from my daughter’s first photography class. She found some fallen apples in a forgotten garden. I like how she centered in on the one that wasn’t rotten but didn’t leave out the others. The colors are very rich. Organic produce gone crazy…
