SOU Basketball
Kyle Tedder

Lots going on in Ashland tonight…

beginning at 5 p.m. is the 21st Annual Festival of Light Santa Parade down the middle of town and ending at the Black Sheep with Santa singing from the balcony and the town getting lit up with the Grand Illumination count down
beginning at 5:30 p.m. the SOU Raiders Women’s Basketball Team (7-1) face New Hope Christian College in the Bob Riehm Arena
beginning at 6:15 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be hanging with the kids in the Black Swan Theater
beginning at 7:30 p.m. the #4-ranked SOU Men’s Basketball Team will play

Santa is normally a fixture behind the Raider bench, but I’m guessing he will be busy on the other side of town tonight.

Carrots @ Portland Saturday Farmer’s Market @ PSU

Today’s photo is from last Saturday morning. Portland was experiencing some relatively rare sun, and it was hitting these carrots just so. I couldn’t resist a pic.

bald eagle with rodent in claws

I have been kicking myself since June for only having my 24-120mm lens with me the first time I visited this ranch in Oregon high desert country. The second time I brought my 70-300mm lens, but there were no eagle sightings on that day.

This photo showed up as my background, desktop photo of the day so I decided to process it. When I viewed it at 100% I realized that this eagle has a field mouse in its talons. You can see it too if you click on the image (maybe twice depending on your browser) to view it at 100%.
