The morning was so beautiful in its awakening. Such incredible shades of purples & blues,
slowing to changing to pinks & oranges. The sky was ablaze in stunning colors…
it was practically impossible to take a bad photo. The morning was picture perfect!

Sadly, the amazing show of color only lasts a few minutes each morning. As the sun begins
to crest on the horizon, the sky turned more blue… and the sun was just about ready to “pop”
over the edge. Beautiful every step of the way…

And then the sun came up… the colors dispersed and the sky lit up.
And I was finally back on the bike to finish my ride… pedal… pedal… pedal…
pedaling fast to make up for the time I spent shooting pictures.

So there I was…

reveling in the beautiful morning…

enjoying another fantastic sunrise…

cruising along minding my own business…

taking curves at a pretty good clip…

maybe going a little bit faster than I should be…

having fun…

when all of a sudden… imagine my SURPRISE!!!
