These bucks are considering their recent purchase of a cute little house with a pink door and blue roof. They aren’t nearly as concerned with the lack of legal same-sex marriage in Oregon since a domestic partnership law is on the books. Instead, they are worried about the lack of head room in their new home.
We’ll finally make it back to Ashland in tomorrow’s blog entry. Today’s photograph is the last one I took in California before taking over the driving duties in Mt. Shasta city.
This was a lucky shot. Like yesterday’s capture, it’s out my car window on Highway 89 in California between Cayton and McCloud. The clouds were looking good so I took a shot. At 55 MPH you never know what you are going to get in the foreground. I ended up with a nearly perfectly centered tree in the frozen tundra.

Continuing our trip home from Utah to Oregon, I took the above picture through a rather dirty window somewhere between Winnemucca and Reno, Nevada while going about 75 MPH. If you click on it to view it larger, you may even be able to see a living creature in the lower left corner.
As mentioned a couple of weeks ago when the Utah trip tour began on this blog, the salt flats on the way back to Oregon were really pretty. The sun was shining in the southeast and crazy cloud formations with rain and snow were happening in the northwest. We were expecting lots of snow on the road and when we left Utah, Nevada’s traffic and weather site stated that we would be putting chains on in at least 3 locations. Yuck. Therefore, there was no time to stop and take pictures of the salt flat scenes.
However, we lucked out in Nevada and never had to put on chains. The first stop we made was at the above, desolate-looking rest stop near Wells, Nevada. No one was around for miles and miles. It was the first chance I had to take a break from driving and snap a picture.
If you are sick of my pictures of Utah you are in luck as tomorrow we will be moving out of Utah and getting on the road back to Ashland. Today’s photo includes my father-in-law and nephew.
I took this one from up in the Wasatch Mountains, northeast of Kaysville, Utah. The camera was pointing southwest.
I had a hard time choosing between today’s images. Instead of making a choice I will present both.
When I woke up the day after Christmas the above was the view from my bed. My camera happened to be next to the bed so I just reached down and took this photograph while still lying down. The snow on the bottom of the window frame reminded me of how kids draw snow scenes. This may have been the first time I actually saw snow lining the bottom of a window in real life though.
Not content with just a view while horizontal, I also went up to the window to capture this second, unframed scene. A blue sky always seems a bit bluer when there is snow on the ground (plus the tinted window seemed to give everything on the other side of it a bit of a blueish hue).
