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!

A group of football players walk back from practice in front of a one story building. Blue sky. Clouds. Old faded mural on the building wall behind them that you cannot quite make out.

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.

Le Cannet, Côte d'Azur intersection outside of our city hall in Lafayette, Louisiana. Twinned as a sister city in May of 1987.

Light post, up close, in black and white, with a sign that explains the different walk signs. Above it is a sign that says “Le Cannet, Côte d'Azur intersection.” A house and a truck are in the background.

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.

A black and white portrait of a woman security guard sitting at a desk with her glasses, a book, travel coffee mug, and desk calendar. She has a wonderful smile.

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.

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.”

Some of my favorite live oak #trees on UL Lafayette’s campus.

A line of oak trees stretches into the distance, right justified in the photo with large vine covered canopies spanning the left. It’s so green.
