On my bike commute downtown to meet some friends and fellow IAAL•MAF’ers and resurrect our long-dormant Thugsday night bike rides, I first stopped at the Exposition Park Rose Garden — celebrating its 80th anniversary — to grab some snaps because it’s that time of year when its occupants are are in full flower power.

I’d recommend a visit if you get a chance, or just live vicariously through me and my Flickr photoset.
