Summer is winding down

Temperatures are dropping, especially at night. Let’s not forget just how much fun was had in summer as we head into a hopefully equally exciting fall season.

My first day back from Korea was spent at nearby Lake of the Woods. I was groggy all morning, but by evening I felt pretty good. The view didn’t hurt.
I’ll be back in Ashland in a week, with some fresh photos from Oregon soon thereafter. Until then, if you want to check out some of my recent pics from Korea, click here.

The night Michale Graves played at Musichead was a strange one for me. I was really getting into his music, especially his new CD, Vagabond, during the prior month. My mom was dying, and his tunes helped to get me through that time period.
My mom died a few days before the show. The day after the show we were going to be driving to Eugene for the funeral. It was also my daughter’s birthday (4/18/13) so it didn’t look like I would be going to the show after all. My daughter ended up having volleyball the same night in Medford so I did end up catching just the first few songs before I had to leave.
I didn’t have my concert, camera lenses with me so these didn’t come out the best. The night was still a welcome change of mind for me. I really hope Graves comes back to Southern Oregon so I can see his full show someday.
Today’s photo comes from our friend’s ranch in Beatty, Oregon.
Our neighbor has been driving home some funky cars recently. One day they had a University of Oregon Ducks Smart car. Sometimes they have two groovy, Smart cars parked out front.
