Crater Lake clear

This isn’t the normal, “postcard” shot of Crater Lake, but sometimes you miss the trees for the forest when you look at Crater Lake only as a whole. The details are quite lovely as well as the big picture.

Cheridan Hawkins, the best starting pitcher in the country, will lead the Oregon Ducks on their quest for a national championship as the Regionals begin today in Eugene. Hawkins has an ERA of just 1.39 this season to go along with a 27-3 record, 6 saves, and more than 220 strikeouts in less than 170 innings. Cheridan is one of ten finalists for the USA Softball Player of the Year Award. On May 20 the field will be narrowed to three finalists.

Beatty, Oregon between storms (February 2015)

I have posted photos from Beatty before here and here. Our friends have a ranch in Beatty so we have been there several times, but the last couple days were our first visit in winter. The weather was all over the place. Sometimes below freezing, sometimes sunny and almost warm–snow, hail, and rain all fell from the skies. Today’s photo comes during a sunny interlude between a snow storm and a hail storm. There was no wind at the moment I took this, but there were extreme winds less than a half hour before.
