The Japanese Maple trees in our backyard are going a bit crazy at the moment. Actually, the one I was sitting under to take the above picture has lost most of its leaves. The one farther away is hitting its peak and hasn’t lost any yet.
This is the photograph from outside. Tomorrow I’ll show you what it looks like from inside our sunroom (which can also be seen in the above picture on the right doing the reflecting).
I woke up and looked out my window last week to the above view. After snapping this picture I hopped in the shower. When I got out of the shower the fog had risen another few hundred feet and nothing could be seen, but fog, until several hours later.
I took the above photograph a few weeks ago from my driveway. We have no fences between our house and the neighbor’s, but there is a wood pile that sort of separates the two properties. I like this shot because even though there are several inches of leaves on the ground, there are still plenty left in the trees too. With the storms of the past week, there are no longer many left in the tree. Time to get out the rake…
After a number of warm days in a row, this was the sunrise on the last of those warm days, about 24 hours before the rain hit and the temperatures turned much colder.
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.

Ashland’s unique location, between two mountain ranges, provides for some interesting shadows and cloud formations.
The sun is about to rise. The 7 a.m. flights from Medford to San Francisco have left their marks on the sky.

This was our old cherry tree in the peak of its glory. A couple of winters ago we had a huge snow storm that caused such heavy and sticky snow that every branch on this tree broke (as did many in town). It is slowly making a comeback. Perhaps I’ll show some pictures of it in the storm here in this blog this coming winter and then how it looks next March when it blooms again.
Another contribution from my daughter. She took this one in April of 2007. My daughter is a pet lover. I am not. Every chance she gets she volunteers to watch the pets of others while they are out of town, etc. So this is “Hank,” a cat of a friend who spent a couple of days and a night at our house. My only memories of Hank include his walking over my face during the night while I was trying to sleep and the dozens of pictures my daughter took of him.
