Tai Chi?
Photo taken in August 2008
I thought some people were doing Tai Chi in Lithia Park (as that is a very common sight). However, when they broke out a sword I had to wonder whether it was actually something else.
Crater Lake
My 10-year old daughter is in an after school photography class. For the next few days I’ll showcase some of her work. She took the above picture yesterday on her class field trip to Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the U.S.A. and ninth deepest in the world. Crater Lake is the third deepest lake in the world and deepest in the Western Hemisphere if the average depth is used as the measuring criteria.
I was hoping that there would be snow along the rim, but, as you can see, it hasn’t stuck yet. Later in the day it started snowing rather heavily, and they made their exit while they still could.
Crater Lake is northeast of Ashland in Southern Oregon. The island you see in the middle is known as Wizard Island.
Squaw Lake
Photo taken in September of 2004
Not far from Ashland is Squaw Lake, a cute little place which is usually devoid of people. The shores were covered in butterflies the day we visited.
Applegate Lake

To the west of Ashland lies Applegate Lake (sometimes referred to as Applegate Reservoir). There are some good biking and hiking trails around the lake.
Near Fish Lake
Photo taken in July of 2007
The above picture is from a spot near Fish Lake, just east of Ashland, in the Oregon Cascade Mountains. There was a nice little trail that we road our bikes on, but you could also hike it if you wanted to. We didn’t see anyone else until we got to the resort area of Fish Lake.
Cloudy day
My daughter, who was 9 at the time, took this picture through her bedroom window on June 6, 2007. Our mountains are in their transition phase in early June. They aren’t as green as they were a month or two before, but they aren’t nearly as brown as they get later in the summer either.
A view from the SOU stands
Photo taken in September 2008
As the sun set, SOU had the lead 11-3. Darkness was not good to the Raiders as they went on to lose the game.
For some views looking from the hills in the distance back towards town see the last couple pictures in this entry.
The Welcome Swing
Photo taken in September 2008
On the corner of Terrace and Ridge a property owner has turned the edge of his private property into a little public park with a couple of swings, one saying “Welcome” on it. Ashlanders like to walk this part of town because of the challenge of the hills, and this spot is a favorite for a rest.
Rogue River Gorge
Photo taken in August 2008
The Rogue River Gorge is spectacular. You can walk the Rogue Gorge Trail for several miles and be treated to amazing views like this.
The trail is easy to find off of Highway 62 just north of the Union Creek Campground. Look for the Natural Bridge Viewpoint parking lot on your left. If you miss it you’ll know you have once you see the river on your left. But you probably won’t because the parking lot is clearly marked and quite large (and empty every time we have been there). If you are going to Crater Lake from Medford this is right on the way.
