Buck Prairie Trail view (February 2022)

This was the Buck Prairie scene more than two months ago after some snow fell. I bet there is more snow up there right now based on this week’s weather.

Ashland, Oregon (December 27, 2021)

Today’s photo was the last one I ever took with my Nikon D500 (which I sold a few days ago). Now that I think about it, this is also my last photo with a DSLR as I no longer own one. Between my D7000, D600, D750, and D500 I probably took well over 200,000 photos (of which I’ve probably looked at less than half and processed less than 10%).

Through this last photo (shot at 450mm) I learned that I can see the Caldera Brewery (far right of this image) from my home. I didn’t realize that when taking the photo. I had to get it on a big screen to notice. To celebrate, I will go to Caldera today.

Snowshoeing around Crater Lake (January 2022)

Yesterday we headed over to Crater Lake for the first time in a few years. The weather was spectacular for January–no wind and about 50 degrees (although it felt warmer with all of the sun bouncing off of the snow). Hardly anyone was there. We snowshoed to Discovery Point and Eagle Point, a bit over 5 miles I think. Today’s photo was taken on our way to Discovery Point.
