Lithia Park in the snow (February 17, 2026)

AI seemed quite certain when it informed me that this photo of Ashland Creek that I took in Ashland’s Lithia Park was in fact a scene from the “North Fork of the Middle Fork Willamette River in the Willamette National Forest”.

Tsukubai in Ashland’s Japanese Gardens

I mentioned before about how Ashland’s Japanese Garden in Lithia Park reminds me of Ryoanji in Kyoto, Japan. I didn’t notice this tsukubai (stone washbasin) in my earlier visits, but I did this past November as I thought I saw a similar one in Ryoanji. After searching through some old photos, I found my picture of the Ryoanji tsukubai and sure enough, this one in Ashland is an exact replica of the 17th century stone in Kyoto.

The characters combine with the square in the middle to spell out 吾唯足知 Ware tada taru wo shiru (I only know contentment).
