Robert and Kevin

 Cruising around in Uncle Collins big black boots.

 So many bowling balls to choose from.

 Investigating the all the cool gadgets at the bowling alley.

 What is the best part of eating red vines? 

The aftertaste, a sweet, savory, tang, and a hint of red drool.

Practicing the run up with Katie Aunt.

 A little coaching can go a long way.

 "DAD! Ball. Broke it!"

"I can do it dad!" as long as you don't let go.

 The strike return dance.

 Playing with my new firetruck.

 I saw my dad do this once and the car started growling.

 As you try to absorb every aspect  and the multiple styles;

you will find your self engulfed into the past.

 Just a look into the Pink room.

 If you lose your head you will guarantee to find it painted.

 

Every one in this store has style straight down to little rain-boots.

Running in to the 

 always fun and full of life Mrs. Teena the beautiful.

 

One of my favorite parks to visit.

 One of the many many trees that fell victim to the snow and ice storm.

 My favorite spot to do group or individual photos.

 One of the many water run off points in to the sound.  Looking across the Budd inlet at west Olympia.

 Trying to capture the natural curves of Mother Nature.

 Some pictures of the bygone era.

 With the high and the fog rolling in you can make out the sky line of down town Olympia and the dry docks.

 This was one knotty tree.

 Roses, candles, and a tree that fell in the ice storm.

 Some Sky ferns about 100feet up.

 This is the ruts left by another tree that fell. If you look close you will see the branch marks also.

Can you count the rings. You can see the good years along with the bad ones. 

Preservation

Enjoying Flett creek (47.180313,-122.502197 gps coordinates)

 Looking down the creek that is ready for spring to hit.

 The water is high and starting to fill with life.

 Looking through the white oak trees trying to catch the suns rays.

 Standing alone and unharmed after the snow and ice storm.

All we need now are some Bald Eagles.

How to get rid of Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius).

First you grab a fence post puller.

Seconded you place the little feet on each side of the Scotch broom's trunk. 

As you gently pry back pulling out the plant, you want the root system to fallow.

 

With a little elbow grease we can rid our selves from this invasive plant.
