“On a clear day, rise and look around you.
And you’ll see who – just who you are.”

Today was one of those mornings…
where you could “see forever, and ever and ever… and evermore.”

The morning started with some dark & gloomy clouds. Thinking it could go either way… with lots of sunrise potential. Luckily, the sun made it through just enough to color the clouds… but never quite made a full morning appearance.

The clouds won!

With barely a cloud in the sky, it was a perfect morning to get out early & go for my morning ride. A slight layer of low-flying clouds on the horizon… but otherwise clear skies for days!!!

Thanks to my cousin Kim for bringing the bulbs & for helping with planting all of them last Fall… so excited to see an explosion of color getting ready to burst in my front yard!

With a lot of cloud-cover this morning, we were sure making up for no clouds yesterday! There was a slight glimmer of colorful sunrise… great potential for a beautiful sunrise sky show. But to no avail… it lasted for about a minute before the clouds won out. Seemingly for the rest of the day, as we have a bit of rain later in the forecast.

They say “on a clear day you can see forever.”
Well, it was pretty clear this morning… not a cloud in the sky…
but I don’t think I could quite see “forever.” Dang.

Shimmering sunrise reflections this morning.
But I had to enjoy it early… as the gray clouds moved in fast for the rest of the day!

Nothing but clear skies this morning. No clouds for the sun to play with… or to make my sunrise photos more interesting. So I had to get creative… and go for some mirrored window reflections!

Colorful wispy clouds blowing across the horizon. It started out quite warm this morning… but that breeze along the lake was a bit stronger than I expected!

What started out as a quiet & serene sunrise… turned out to be a bit more splashy that I had expected! I always LOVE when the waves are crashing & the sunrise is highlighting every wave! Timing is everything!!!
