Ashland, Oregon – December 2024

Today’s photo comes from a short hike we did a bit over a week ago on the west side of Lithia Park. We were on the TID (AKA “ditch trail”) between the Granite Street Trail and Hearts Nature Trail. (More on hiking in this area can be found here.) The scene looked as if someone threw lit candles dripping with hot wax at this tree.

Lithia Park (October 17, 2024)

I brought my camera to the park last week. Very few trees had changed color then, but it won’t be long until Lithia Park is at its peak. Look closely for one of the dozen or so deer I encountered.

A short, but steep, hike near Ashland, Songer Butte is the kind of trail you do once for the views (from the top is even better).
