Could it be possible that spring has actually come to Olympia? Although it is still about a week and a half away, I am seeing signs everywhere. This weekend I took a drive and found that even though it was 45 degrees out, it was sunny and every car I passed had their window rolled down. This is a perfect example of North Westerners come spring time. People on campus have started wearing shorts and flipflops, and have been seen laying out on the wet, cold grass on blankets, and standing, facing the sun to soak up the vitamin D. It’s really quite the site, but I love it and I appreciate it’s uniqueness.

Also, this weekend I went down town for lunch, and afterwards walked along the inlet boardwalk. There were so many people out with their children and walking their dogs and just enjoying the weather. It was beautiful!

Here are some pictures I took of crocus, boats and the inlet on my springish outing.

Crocus!

The Capitol and some boats

Artsy pictures of boats at the marina

An picture of the inlet with a fancy sailboat and mountains…it was a little smoggy out that day [This isn’t typical!].

Another picture of the inlet, more mountains! I think this is the Olympic Mountain range, but it could also be the Cascades.
