Flying by Mount McLoughlin
In late May I flew down to Oakland in a friend’s private plane. Soon after takeoff from the Ashland Municipal Airport this was the view out the window.
Sun peaking through on the valley
The color of the trees when they first get their leaves in late April is somehow different than the color of the leaves in mid-summer.
April in Ashland

Spring and Autumn are interesting seasons in Ashland. You never know if it will be 30 degrees or 75 degrees. Sometimes in April things get mixed up and the green of Spring collides with the white of Winter.
Back to school day
SOU campus between storms
The return of students to campus after spring break doesn’t have quite the mystique of the start of the school year in fall, but the campus today still has a bit more excitement in the air than normal.
Grizzly Peak panorama from East Main Street
Grizzly Peak photomerge
Grizzly Peak has been a frequent subject on this blog. I have taken photos from this spot on numerous occasions, but this is the first time that I photomerged nearly 180 degrees of scenery from this location including a bit of East Main Street. I stood so that both sets of power lines would run straight from my position once photomerged even though they actually are perpendicular to each other.
180° from the Ashland Street Overpass
Ashland has had some fantastic skies the past few days. I’m hoping these kind of skies and clouds follow me to Yosemite where I will be spending much of my spring break next week.
It may not look it from this panorama, but I nearly froze to death taking these eight photos (which were photomerged into one in CS6 later). These clouds were moving through quickly, the wind was howling, and the temperature was probably below freezing with the wind chill factor. I didn’t stick around for long to enjoy the view.
Remember what early June looks like?
This field on East Main Street in Ashland isn’t much to took at this time of year. However, in May and early June the grass grows long so someone cuts a path through it for the kids walking to school at Willow Wind.
Ashland from Dead Indian Memorial Road
Ashland, Oregon with a storm brewing
After the snowshoeing adventure mentioned yesterday, I headed down Dead Indian Memorial Road into what looked like a pending storm. The storm fizzled.
The bump in the distant center is the backside of Pompadour Bluff. I’ll have to post a more close up version of Ashland side of Pompadour Bluff soon.
Another Ashland panorama
Ashland, Oregon panorama
Last week the mountains around Ashland were dusted with snow. Some funky clouds rolled in, and then some blue sky poked through. I decided to head up to the roof to see how much of the detail I could capture.
I had my Nikkor 70-300mm lens on my Nikon D600. At 70mm I turned the camera vertical, and took a series of 8 photos at 1/800, f/10, ISO-200. I then photomerged them together for the above result. If you have a big screen, click on the image once or twice for the larger view. You can see lots of detail and landmarks on the biggest version including (from the left) Mountain Meadows, Grizzly Peak, and Pompadour Bluff.
