Trinity Alps Trees
On a recent hike to Trail Gulch Lake in California‘s Trinity Alps I took today’s photo.

Pre-parade Siskiyou Boulevard
The parade route, before it begins, tingles with excitement. People are not yet tired from the heat. The day is still somewhat cool in fact. The median is lined with American flags and the Ashland Springs Hotel can be seen in the distance on the right. The fancy (mostly red) cars will hold the dignitaries and be at the start of the parade. Liberty Street Park (also known as Triangle Park) fills the area to the back left.
Ashland from Grizzly Peak
Ashland, Oregon from Grizzly Peak
I have shown you the reverse angle view of this spot many times before. But this is the first time you get to see Ashland from Grizzly Peak instead of vice versa. The rain was coming down hard and heavy when I took this or it could have turned out much better.
For one of my favorite shots of this location looking in the opposite direction from town click here.
Top of Grizzly Peak
If the trees look dead in this picture that is because they mostly are. A fire burned everything on top of Grizzly Peak several years back. To tell you the truth, I find the hike on Grizzly to be much more interesting now after the fire. Not only is the dead wood beautiful but life is springing up like crazy at the base of the trees.
You can’t really see it in this photo, but I risked my camera’s life by taking this and a few other photos as we got caught it a hail and rain storm. I was soaked and so was my camera, but it is still working fine.
The bit of town you can see is probably Medford. I think I was pointed northwest when I took this photograph. This picture looks much better on a big screen, with your browser maximized, after clicking on the image.
Ashland from I-5
Today’s picture was taken from the highway, window rolled down, going 65 MPH. The snow on Mt. Ashland is mostly gone now in mid-June, but there was still quite a bit when I took this on May 19. The Ashland Springs Hotel is the most visible and recognizable building. My house is among the trees beyond the hotel. A great place to live…

Crater Lake in May
For some, unknown reason our guide never took us to the lake. I think most of the kids didn’t even see Crater Lake on this Crater Lake field trip. I wasn’t going to miss it though. When you have traveled to one of the Top 10 Natural Wonders of the World you may as well look at it.
Crater Lake was in fine form on this day.
Above Rogue River Gorge
At this point in the day I was very hopeful that the scenery at Crater Lake would be spectacular as we had some blue sky. The last two times I went to Crater Lake were disappointing as I didn’t get to see the lake due to poor weather conditions.
Walker Elementary School Playground
Last month I went on a field trip with my daughter’s class to Crater Lake. The weather was strange all day. This is what it looked like when we arrived at Walker Elementary School at 7:30 in the morning.
Over the next few days you’ll get to see photographs from the rest of the day’s adventures.
Hanging out on the deck
I was reading a book in my Adirondack chair on the deck the other day with this view. It was cloudy and overcast but still nice out.
Spring view from the YMCA
A cow grazed in this pasture until last year when the old heifer died. The American flag in the center is in front of Premier West Bank. The building to the left is the Apple Cellar Bakery & Cafe. The mountains in the back are the Siskiyous. And the cherry blossoms are now gone. But they were at their peak last month when I took today’s photograph.
