Sun star through the Japanese maples in autumn
Winter is cold, long, and bleak. I need to look at old photos like this one to remember what life was like just a little over a month ago.

Heading out of Ashland
If you head out of Ashland toward Talent, Phoenix, and/or Medford on Old Highway 99, this is the scene late in October. Jackson Wellsprings is just to the left of where I took this photo.
Southern Oregon University campus in autumn
SOU on Halloween (2012)
On Halloween I had to give a test during the annual, Ashland Halloween parade. I think this was only the second time I have missed the Halloween parade in 11 years. The other time I was in Japan watching their version of a Halloween parade. Rain was falling for the beginning of the test, but by the time I walked out of my classroom in Taylor Hall at 5:30 the rain had stopped and the campus was empty. Upon seeing this scene I realized I should go get my camera.
SOU autumn
Near the end of the last school year, construction began on a new “gateway” sign for Southern Oregon University on the corner of Siskiyou Boulevard and Mountain Avenue. It took months before the project was complete, but the new sign was ready before courses began again at SOU in September. Now that the landscaping doesn’t look so brand new and artificially placed, I decided to take a photo of it on a glorious fall afternoon earlier this week. The Plunkett Center can be seen a bit through the leaves in today’s pic.
Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park
Another pic today from Stout Grove, one of my favorite places on the planet.
Stout Grove
We went to the coast this past weekend and stopped in Stout Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, part of California Redwood National Park, along the way. I never tire of this place even though I’ve been there many times now.
Hannon Library at Southern Oregon University
SOU's Hannon Library at dusk
Back to school today after a long, holiday weekend. Many colleges and universities are already done for the school year, but SOU is on the quarter system which means another couple weeks of school.
California’s Central Valley
I drove from Ashland to Los Angeles in a single day on my own. I made three or four pit stops along the way and this was the view from one of them. I was somewhere on I-5 heading south between The Bathrooms and The Angels (Los Banos and Los Angeles) when I took this photo.
I left Ashland before 4 a.m., traveling through quite a bit of snow and rain along the way. The sunrise was a dazzling contest between the sun and storm clouds for several hours between Redding and Sacramento. Unfortunately, I didn’t make any photo stops until this one.
I’m not sure what kind of trees these were, but they seemed to go on forever, like many of the orchards and farms along I-5.
Silverado Resort
I spent the past few nights in the San Francisco Bay Area. A couple of those were spent at the Silverado Resort in Napa, a place I hadn’t visited since my wedding reception 20 years ago. I woke up early the first morning to see if I could get some sunrise photos. Unfortunately, the sun never rose; we had nothing but clouds the entire time in Napa. I still got some decent pics I’ll be sharing with you.
