Snowy Ashland landscape

photomerge snowy I-5 ashland

Ashland, Oregon snowy day

I tried something a little different for today’s photo. I wanted to do a photomerge of I-5 with Ashland in the background with a twist. Normally, I photomerge by taking a series of photos starting with the left and moving right and then stitch them together in Photoshop. However, with most of the traffic coming from the right (heading south) I thought, “what if I find an interesting vehicle and capture it in several of the images?” When I saw the yellow school bus coming I started firing away from right to left. Hence it (and the cars right next to it) show up multiple times in the final photomerged panorama.

Buck Prairie Nordic Trails

180 degree panorama of Buck Prairie Nordic Trail in the snow

I headed up Dead Indian Memorial Road to Buck Prairie yesterday. The clouds were thick, but for a few minutes on the trail, there was a bit of blue when I took today’s photo. This panorama is actually 9 vertical pictures stitched together into a horizontal landscape. I was trying out my new snowshoes, but most people out yesterday were on cross country skis as you can see from the tracks in the snow.

ashland oregon hiking snow shoes cross country x skiing trail

We drove up to the White Rabbit trailhead parking lot a couple days ago to hike to the end of the Lamb Mine Cave off of Ashland Loop Road. There was lots of snow and I was wishing I had brought along my snow shoes that I received for Christmas. The sun came out at times and, with it, large quantities of snow fell from the trees making a lovely, winter landscape.

Getting away with murder

david grubbs ashland oregon murder victim unsolved cases

Six months ago today David Grubbs was brutally murdered on Ashland’s bike path, just before the sun set, while walking home from work at Shop’n Kart. The police haven’t been able to solve the crime. The reward is now over $20,000, but it doesn’t seem anyone has any information available to claim it.

Ready for a swim?

pool covered in snow

A photo from the archives today. I took this one back in February of last year. The cover is still on the pool this time of year, but it should be coming off in the next few weeks.

Mt. Ashland sledding

It’s now May so the temperatures are a bit warmer on average, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the snow or that there isn’t still a lot of snow on Mt. Ashland. In fact, there is more snow up on Mount A now (and the ski season ended on April 22) than when I took today’s photo back in January, when there was such a lack of snow on Mt. Ashland the slopes were not open for skiing. For the photo just after this one click here.
