Okay I tried… I really did. But my plan of working all day setting up my Home Show got totally sidelined by my bike & some stunning weather!!! Today we almost hit 70-degrees & sunny… while tomorrow the temps are supposed to drop more than 20-degrees!!! So this might have been our last chance for sleeveless bike riding through gorgeous Fall colors!!! So I seized the moment!!!

I was “supposed to be” working all day trying set-up & get ready for next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. But strangely, the weather was amazing & my day may have taken a brief detour?! Allegedly…

The snow is gone, and the warmer temperatures are back… at least for a couple days! And I’ll take it!!! Not a lot of clouds today. Just some “confused” contrails criss-crossing the sky!

We knew that the running streak of stunning sunrises couldn’t last forever… but what we lacked in stunning, may have been made up for with a few great splashes?!!!

Another day with another OUTSTANDING sunrise skyshow!!!
A picture is worth a thousand words!

Have I mentioned lately that Autumn is my favorite season? Not only for all of the gorgeous Fall colors… but it seems like we also get some pretty darn AMAZING sunrises!!! More frequently in Fall than in other seasons. And I’m here for it!!! Loving that our Fall season, colored trees & dramatic sunrises are hanging on longer than usual here in Chicago.

It turned out to be another gorgeous Fall day. But it started with a LOT OF CLOUDS!!! Crazy-cool clouded drama along the lakefront… unsure if we would ever see the sun?! But gradually the sun made its way through the clouds… finding a little opening. Great colors… great sunrise… great surprise!

Lots of clouds covering the sky this morning. There was a moment of brilliance with red splashing across the clouds. But as quickly as it arrived… it also disappeared. Plunging us back into the gray clouds. Looks like it might be cloudy the rest of the day… but hey, at least I got a few moments of pretty!

Cool & breezy… but luckily not as cold as the past couple days! The wind was pretty gusty in areas… and the tailwind was pretty nice riding back home! Not many clouds in the sky… just a few gently drifting across the morning sky.

Another cold ride… starting the morning out with layers & a “feels like” temp just below 30-degrees! Low-flying clouds not so good for a clear sunrise… but good enough for some moody morning shots!

And since when did they start with a “feels like” temperature?… the thermometer says nothing… the actual temperature! Who is out there determining what it “feels” like???
