Water for the swamp

Rains finally brought some much- needed water to the swamp. It had dried down to soggy ground and just a few mud puddles; and the situation was getting desperate. Today the frogs and birds were singing their relief. Lots of dragonflies were zipping around the clearings.

Bike Corral

I'm still cycling around town. I helped today, at the bike corral that BRASS held downtown for FestforAll. Since there are almost no bicycle parking facilities, Baton Rouge Advocates for Safe Streets gets a position, sets up parade barracades, and lines up some volunteers to offer secure bike parking. And that, in turn, hopefully encourages more folks to ride bicycles.
