Spring is in full bloom with flowering cherry blossom trees, rhododendrons and the smell of wisteria in the air.
In the heart of downtown is Lithia Park which stretches from the plaza up to its headwaters near Mount Ashland.
For a town with a population of only 22,000, there is a lot happening. This weekend in particular, downtown is buzzing with the annual "Taste of Ashland", a spring ritual of wine tasting, restaurant pairing, music and art. We didn't plan our trip around the festival, but it certainly proved to be good timing.
The festival draws artists from all over Southern Oregon who set up on the street or display their art in the local galleries.
This old woodie seemed right at home in historic downtown
There is more I want to write about Ashland, so
come back soon for Part 2.
