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!!!

After being “trapped” inside all day yesterday firing the soda kiln… it was great to get out this morning for a little fresh air! A beautiful sunrise before the predicted clouds & rain move in for the day.

A dramatic start to the morning… albeit for just a few mere minutes! So many clouds with just the tiniest sliver of sunrise. And then the sun went behind the grayness seemingly for the rest of the day!

Plenty of clouds this morning for a beautiful sunrise pedaling along the lake. A bit on the chilly side with a brisk breeze blowing the clouds through the City. A nice way to kick-off a little St. Patrick’s Day morning!

Quiet skies with wispy clouds flying low. Nothing to dramatic this morning…
until the sun finally made it’s appearance drifting up through the layered clouds!

With a bank of low-flying clouds hanging out on the horizon this morning,
we had to wait for the sun to show… but the “previews” show was FANTASTIC!!!

So we may have “Spring-ed forward”… or would that be Sprung?… an hour forward last night, but the morning sunrise was delayed by a thick band of clouds hanging low on the horizon. Dramatic waves coming in while the sun took its time to finally arrive & greet the day.

A quiet start to another quiet morning. Clear skies with a little bit of haze hovering over the City while a pretty stiff breeze was blowing through. Headwinds for the first half… so riding home was more fun!!!

On a clear day you can see forever. And today might have been one of those days. With a bit of low-lying haze, the sunrise was delayed, but well worth the wait. A quiet start to the day… before I head back to Evanston for Day Two of “4×4 : FOUR MAKERS”

With a touch of overnight rain, it was warm & kinda damp this morning riding on wet pavement. Not my favorite thing to do… but with surprisingly warm temperatures today I felt like I “just had to” get outside to play this morning! There were still lots of hazy clouds hovering over the City, but the view over the lake was clear & orange with just a few clouds breezing through. Enjoy it now… as the forecast for tomorrow morning is 40-degrees colder than today!!! YIKES!!!
