Bear in the neighbor’s yard

149_3026 RAW bear ashland

A few days ago my wife noticed this bear which could be seen from our backyard. The bear went for this apple that had fallen from the tree. Although we see signs of bear activity frequently, this is the first one I have actually seen in the neighborhood since five years ago when we saw this other bear.

Flock of pelicans? No, they are a squadron.

Squadron of pelicans

I took today’s photo a week ago while we were at a friend’s ranch a few hours to the east of Ashland. You probably won’t see pelicans in Ashland, but they are common near Klamath Lake. This picture captures only about half of the total pelicans that made up this squadron. After gracefully circling around the property for more than 10 minutes they were scared off by a single hawk.

We were invited to a friend’s farm in nearby Talent for a BBQ on the 4th of July. While there we met their goats, the friendliest goats I have encountered.

Hiking lens

Whenever I go for a hike I face the dilemma of whether or not to bring my camera and if I bring it which lens. Sometimes I just attach a prime 24mm lens to minimize weight and size. But if I had gone that route when we did Lower Table Rock a couple weeks ago I would have missed out on this shot. My 24-120mm comes in very handy in such situations.

This bird (a Northern Red-shafted Flicker) has been waking us up recently with pecking (sounds more like drilling) on the side of our house.
