Frosty weather brings in the elk ...

Yesterday it was so frosty - below freezing, even at noon. On a hunch, I suspected that the cold weather would bring the elk herds down low.

Yes, I found a smaller herd - about 60 or so. They stay away from the road and my camera doesn't zoom well, but loved catching them in their frosty environment, enjoying green feed.

Such magnificent animals.

A place to enjoy summer days!

With all the forests and lakes and waterways in Southern Oregon, there is no shortage of great places to spend a summer day. One not too far from Medford is Lake of the Woods. It is a resort that has been around for over a century. Seeped in history. A place for great fun and memories. http://www.lakeofthewoodsresort.com/ With temperatures hitting over 100 degrees at the moment, it sure is a great place to be.

Peaceful Pastures ...

Just 3 miles down the road from where I live. It was below freezing, so the pasture grass is tipped with frost. Love the colors - subdued but work so well together.

Mt McLoughlin.
