Grizzly Peak
The view of Grizzly Peak in September from Waterline Road… Not bad…
OSF celebrates its 75th season
Today’s photo includes the start of “The Green Show.” In the background, you can see a banner going across the street mentioning this being the 75th season for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Much farther away you can see Grizzly Peak.
Top of Grizzly
Looking at Grizzly Peak from town you wouldn’t think that at the top lies a large, mostly flat meadow, but that is what you will find.
If you plan to hike other “peaks” in the area like Mt. Ashland, Mt. McLaughlin, or Pilot Rock you will find no such surprises on the top of them.
Ashland from Grizzly Peak
Ashland, Oregon from Grizzly Peak
I have shown you the reverse angle view of this spot many times before. But this is the first time you get to see Ashland from Grizzly Peak instead of vice versa. The rain was coming down hard and heavy when I took this or it could have turned out much better.
For one of my favorite shots of this location looking in the opposite direction from town click here.

If the trees look dead in this picture that is because they mostly are. A fire burned everything on top of Grizzly Peak several years back. To tell you the truth, I find the hike on Grizzly to be much more interesting now after the fire. Not only is the dead wood beautiful but life is springing up like crazy at the base of the trees.
You can’t really see it in this photo, but I risked my camera’s life by taking this and a few other photos as we got caught it a hail and rain storm. I was soaked and so was my camera, but it is still working fine.
The bit of town you can see is probably Medford. I think I was pointed northwest when I took this photograph. This picture looks much better on a big screen, with your browser maximized, after clicking on the image.
SOU Commencement 2009
I still haven’t figured out how to use WordPress’s gallery feature very well. I was hoping that when you clicked on one of the above images you’d get a large image and be able to navigate to the next picture. You can’t, unfortunately. You can get a large image if you click the picture and then click it again on the next page though.
After attending eight straight SOU graduations, I’m going to miss next year’s commencement since I will be out of the country. I think already missing next year caused me to take more pictures than normal this year. 😉
Pictures from Southern Oregon University’s 2008 graduation ceremony can be seen here.
Walker Elementary School Playground
Last month I went on a field trip with my daughter’s class to Crater Lake. The weather was strange all day. This is what it looked like when we arrived at Walker Elementary School at 7:30 in the morning.
Over the next few days you’ll get to see photographs from the rest of the day’s adventures.
Grizzly Peak from the SOU campus
I took today’s photograph from the Computing Services building on the Southern Oregon University campus early last month. This is my view as I walk to class (from Central Hall to Taylor Hall) most days.
