I’m probably one of the few owners of the Tamron 150-600mm lens that has used it less for wildlife photography than for other types of photography, but here is a rare wildlife shot I have taken with it.

SOU football – Keegan Lawrence

@SOU_Football @SOURaiders @k_law21

With an average of 7 yards per carry during his freshman season last year, what will Keegan do for an encore during his sophomore season this fall?

BTW, Southern Oregon is #1 in the nation in the Director’s Cup which looks at a school’s entire athletic program. Full standings can be seen here.

@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball

The SOU softball team’s Spring “Break” consists of six games. They were supposed to play two today in Eugene, but those were rained out. They will play two tomorrow in Klamath Falls. Friday and Saturday will feature doubleheaders in Ashland. I’m on my way to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho for my Spring Break so I won’t see any of these games.

Ashland High School Baseball Coach Mike Kenask

Jeremy Guthrie, AHS alum and pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, will be at the AHS football stadium on Tuesday, March 24 from 3:00-4:30 p.m. to kick off the fundraising for the turf field project. He’ll address the crowd, sign autographs, and be available for photos at the event. Guthrie has generously donated $650,000 toward a turf field at AHS. The field will be used for home football and soccer games, PE classes, and community use. It will be a tremendous enhancement to Ashland High School programs.

Grizzly Peak is brown for most of the year. Occasionally it will be white on top, and sometimes it is green on the side. However, an unusually warm winter and early spring, coupled with above average rain, has led to it being greener this March than at any other time I can remember.

Robert Ives of Problem With Dragons @ Club 66

@pwithd @ElCorazonSEA @LeosClubOAK @RudysHideaway

Great band. They don’t really sound like anyone, but if you like Mastodon, High on Fire, Red Fang, or Baroness then you will certainly enjoy Problem With Dragons as well. They have shows coming up in Washington, Portland, California, and Phoenix so check ’em out.
