Snow dusted Grizzly Peak

A couple weeks ago we had a few cold days which resulted in a bit of snow on the nearby peaks. If the trees on the top of Grizzly Peak, pictured above, look a bit strange to you it is because of a fire that charred them six years ago. The contrast of the black and white is kind of cool. In spring, with late snow dustings like the above you can see a nice mixture of black, white, green (from grass), yellow, and purple (from wild flowers).

I’ll have to post some pictures of the valley from up on Grizzly Peak from prior hikes I have taken one of these days. It’s a great hike, just not this time of year as the back road is in the shade and likely covered in snow even if the front side looks dry.

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

As the sun set, SOU had the lead 11-3. Darkness was not good to the Raiders as they went on to lose the game.

For some views looking from the hills in the distance back towards town see the last couple pictures in this entry.

The above picture was taken from Tolman Creek Road in front of the house near the YMCA that usually has many geese in their yard and also features a small pond. The angle was my way of greening up Grizzly Peak which is pretty brown this time of year.

Everyone in town seems to know Orville. He took a class or two from me way back in 2001. You can see some of his work in the local newspaper.

Grizzly Peak can barely be seen in the background through the smoke from California wildfires. My old boss’s car can be seen in front of O’s.
