Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: bike, sunrise

This morning was clouded over. With a solid layer of clouds.
And not much “potential” for a beautiful sunrise. Not today. Some mornings I wake up
and see a lot of clouds on the horizon that I know will light up the sky when the sun hits them.
But not today… too many clouds, not a chance.

Then the sky opened up… just a little bit. For just a little while.
And then it was back to cloud cover… and no sunrise ever broke through!
But the waves were still crashing all around. Like little aqua-explosions hitting the lake walls!
Plus, all of the lifeguard stands have been tipped over and moved away from the lake just
waiting to be picked up and put back into storage for another Winter. Always a sad sight.
One more sign that Summer may already be over?!!!

With the crashing waves & wind over the past few days, the lakefront shoreline
was cluttered with a lot of seaweed & debris. Like our own little “homage” to those of you
who have been dealing with the hurricane disasters on the East Coast!
