Today, I slowed down to take the pictures...unusual for me...but this is the first decent day in two weeks!
Lake Monroe:
Lake Monroe Overflowing (not a reason to love Bloomington...but my in-laws are one of 10 houses on the other end of that water!and yes, that waterfall WAS a road!)
A pastoral scene along the Clear Creek Trail - 3 miles from downtown.
A new leg of the B-Line Trail...my first time on it - not quite done yet.
A JEWEL - a field of purple flowers in the middle of no where...2 miles from downtown!
The Gateway to downtown on the B-Line:
Modern Art on the B-Line:
City Hall - an old furniture factory - clearly repurposed!
The County Courthouse - renovated by our local billionaire who just passed away last month.
The Square - a scene in Breaking Away was filmed in front of those buildings.
Kirkwood Ave - "Main Street" to campus...
Campus - The Sample Gates:
A beautiful campus...lush green and traditional limestone architecture everywhere:
The Chapel I was married in:

Sigh. I've been gone from Bloomington for 15 years (almost to the day as I moved away the first weekend in May, 1996), but it's still Home. Thanks for sharing, Mr. B.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
