A bit about me: I try to #bike to work more days than most, if schedule allows. For groceries when I can. And for exercise on weekends. I’m two years into it.

This year, I’ve decided to capture photos from my trips. You see so much more on a bike.

In her old age, she walked you.
Make no mistake about it.
In those walks, she made you appreciate
bird song before sunrise
the breeze & everything it carried
the simple beauty in moving slow before the world is awake.
She brought so much joy & has left it with us
like all angels do.

The irises are in full bloom at Moncus Park in Lafayette, Louisiana. The park is home to the largest public collection of #irises in the world! #flowers

Generally my pattern as well…depending on the weekend weather & whatever time/energy I have left in the tank!

I have a modest goal of 32 miles/week, 100 miles/month. The weekly goal is just enough to keep me active without being too easy, but still challenging enough for me to have to be deliberate
I ride through the UL Lafayette athletic complex to and from work when I commute by #bike. Today I had to wait for about 150 #football players on the Ragin’ Cajuns to pass before I could continue. Geaux #Cajuns!

Rainy afternoon and evenings call for homemade #pasta and #bruschetta!

Made some hand cut #ravioli (paired with a brown butter and sage sauce); bruschetta; a radicchio, arugula, pear and mozzarella salad; and some fettuccini noodles with the leftover pasta dough. Jozy was impressed.

Two pints of strawberries, kohlrabi, flatbread, a baguette, green onions, green garlic, and two bone-in ribeyes. Love being able to bike to our local #FarmersMarket on the weekends.

Jozy approves of this strategy!

Meet Jenny! Jenny is one of the first faces I see after my bike ride to work. She’s a voracious reader of fantasy novels, her mug is Edward Scissorhands(!!!), and she has the best inspirational quotes on her desk.

Our local park is hosting a variety of #Louisiana #iris hybrids from a prominent historian’s collection. They are getting close to blooming!

Louisiana Irises are native to the Gulf Coast region & thrive in our wetlands and rich soils.

Happy Mardi Gras,y'all!
Japanese Magnolia.

“…its presence in a story can represent a character's refined nature, resilience, or a moment of quiet beauty amidst challenges, often with the white petals signifying purity and the flower's elegant stance signifying dignity.”
