The Freshness of Spring.

Spring is so great when all is new and renewed. You feel like you can breathe in the whole world.
The colors are amazing - just like this red maple atop the Sutton Ranch waterfall and pond.
Enjoy!

One of the loveliest views - Sutton On Rogue Ranch.

I love the 'Allen House' - better known as 'the guest house'. And truly, any guest would love it with elevated views over the Rogue Rive from its picture windows.

This photo is taken from the garden, looking past the Allen House deck, but is always gorgeous in the morning with the sun shining through.

This photo was taken Monday of this week, and the weather has been just incredibly lovely, like this for well over a week now. Temperature is in the mid 70s. So perfect 'outdoors' weather. Too nice to stay indoors.

I'll try to post more photos over the weekend ...

Oregon Airport 08 - Southern Oregon - White City

Not many might know that Oregon Airport #08 is located right on the Sutton on Rogue ranch property. It's a private landing strip, but has all facilities. For many years it was a major heliport, and has a hanger that is built specifically to service helicopters.

It's always kept in immaculate condition. It is private and secluded. But I always love to see those that drop by to visit in their small craft, even if they are just practicing their landing skills. Just 12 miles from Medford International airport. Very accessible and convenient to the Rogue Valley area.

A riffle on the Rogue.

A view from the Sutton on Rogue Ranch pool. A riffle being enjoyed by rafters on Saturday evening. Fun to watch. Lovely on a summer evening.

How hot?

Sunday it was nearly 100F degrees. But the trout pond on the Sutton on Rogue Ranch looks like a cool oasis. This is the foot bridge over to the island.

Such gorgeous fresh colors this time of the year, offset by stunning reflections. The round ripple shape in the water heralds new trout babies - a reminder that life is good, and life goes on!

Ah! Such a wonderful life at the ranch.
