VOC - Parkfield Restoration

Since I'm still busy living life and sorting my thousand pictures from DC I thought I'd put together a quick post from Boq's latest adventure in assisting with a Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado project for Arbor Day. This time it was over in the Montbello area doing restoration at Parkfield. Boq's team planted five trees and worked on about 50 yards of trail.

Arriving at the project site.

The project site near the beginning. Sadly some parts still look like this.

The group overlooked that they had to untie the rope around the tree before it was ten feet up. The knot was too tight for Boq to assist with so they brought the tractor around to help.

The crew leader is a young lady from Philadelphia doing this project as part of her time in the Peace Corps.

Boq is sitting in the middle of the"moat" built around the base of the tree to hold water in.

Hanging out in the tree.

Since the project finished up sooner than expected Boq helped with the loading of the truck.

It's amazing how much they can pack into a truck.

DC Trip 2007 #1 - The Trip Out

Shadowowl had a trip to DC to help train the new help desk. We got up nice and early to go to DIA. Girlzoot was kind enough to drop us off and take this first picture.


We're in the airport about to head down to the security checkpoint.

Stopped to take a look at some of the sculptures in the airport.

We had the polar bears on the tail of our Frontier flight.

The Reagan International Airport has a lot of floor art.

These are just a couple samples of the many mosaics on the floor.

Brass inlaid butterfly in the floor.

And a dragonfly especially for Shadowowl's friend Lady Dragonfly.

Shadowowl likes to try to take pictures everywhere, including the taxi. This shot of the Jefferson Memorial as we drove by didn't really come out.

Boq at Planet Toys

A few weeks ago we went to Planet Toys, a toy warehouse store, so Boq could look for some toys.

Lord of the Rings

Star Wars

Boq didn't find what he was looking for but we did find Lex while we were there.


Boq valiantly tried explain to Lex how cool these toys were.


I don't know that he was successful but he sure was enthusiastic in his attempt.
