I’m digging my new camera. My old S3 would not have been able to capture the entire rainbow.

I have always thought that one of the best views in town is from the middle school looking towards Grizzly Peak. So, this past week, when I went to pick up my son and arrived a little early I pulled out the camera to take in the view.

The cow in the foreground immediately came wandering over to me as if it thought I was going to feed or milk it or something.

I’ll try to remember to take a similar picture in a month or two when things are much greener.

This is the view from my upstairs window. If you have looked at past blog entries you have seen a variation of today’s photo close to a dozen times now. My favorite thing about this view is its changing nature. Every day it is a bit different. Frequently it looks radically different on the same day. On the day last week when this was taken, not only was there a bit of snow on the mountains, but the clouds were causing some nice looking shadows on the Siskiyou Mountain Range.

This picture has a bit of everything in it: fog, clouds, blue sky, snow. Take your pick.

Why is the Camp McLoughlin spelling different from the mountain’s spelling? I don’t know. It turns out it isn’t. I’ve been spelling Mt. McLoughlin wrong all this time.

Friday was one of those weird weather days photographers dream about. The wind was blowing so the air was clear, the clouds were going crazy but still leaving some blue sky and rays of sunlight, and rainbows even started springing up in places. I climbed out onto the roof to take advantage of the situation.

One of the reasons for showing you so many pictures of Seattle the past week or two is that there hasn’t been much to photograph in Ashland of late. December and January offer the least attractive glimpses of this town, with the exception of when it snows and the mountains are powdered but not concealed with clouds and/or fog. Otherwise it is too foggy/cloudy to see much or the hills look brownish and the skies look more gray than blue. Sunrises can still be pretty though. Here is one from last week. A half hour after taking this photograph our house was surrounded by fog and we couldn’t see a thing.

The morning of our first morning in Seattle was bitterly cold. In the afternoon the clouds began to break up and things got pretty.
