Spring has sprung!

Not quite so rainy this spring in beautiful Southern Oregon.

Blossoms are out everywhere, and staying a bit, because the rain is not causing them to drop.
These were on the main street in Central Point. I turned around to get them for you!

Spring comes to the Rogue Valley!

Abundant pale pink blossoms in Jacksonville, Oregon. So fleeting, but so beautiful. Spring is a delight! ~Jillian http://www.JillianCrider.com

Applegate - the pink barn!

Just recently I joined Pinterest. I love it.
Pink seems to be a popular subject and so I thought I'd be on the look out for something pink.
I never expected it to come in the form of a barn (BTW - barns are popular, too! ;) ).
This barn is in Applegate valley.
A truly wonderful place to visit.
A gorgeous day for a drive today with spring busting out all over.

Captured!

I had been scoping this out as a place to take a photo.
Turned out just as I hoped!

Plant nursery nearby.

Revisting S.O. I'm sure there is a great caption for this!

Seen near Jacksonville, Southern Oregon this past Sunday.

Chasing the Autumn Leaf Colors ...

Lithia Park in Ashland - the dam (up high). Cold and almost deserted, except for a photographer, his girlfriend, and me.
I felt I could get some wonderful reflections, and indeed I did. I love the colors this year. Usually the sun is not out, and usually rain has caused the trees to lose their leaves. I took 175 photos yesterday. This is but one of them.

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.
