Looks like another beautiful day for the last day of Summer! Clear skies, calm waters & sparkling reflections. A little warm & humid… another sweaty ride… perfectly Summery!






































We finally got some clouds… a splash of color early on before the clouds took over! After several days of clear skies, I was happy to see a bit of “drama” on the horizon this morning. Clear skies are fine, but I enjoy a good clouded sunrise so much more!!!
































Another quiet morning… warm with just a little wisp of a cloud flying low on the horizon.


















With a bit of “wildfire” haze & a low-flying “marine layer” the sunrise changed colors nicely this morning… but the actual sunrise was delayed for quite awhile. And I was already home by then… mwah, mwah, mwah…














As the sunrise time keeps getting later & later… it seems like my morning ride just keeps getting darker & darker?! With a lot of darkness for the first half of my ride… and hopefully a good sunrise at the end of my daily route.

Another warm morning for a beautiful Friday the 13th… nothing to be scared of here!!!
Plenty of clouds with plenty of color. Just how I like it… colorful & dramatic!
































Another quiet morning along the lake. With beautiful pastel skies & streaky contrails. Apparently, the “milky haze” we’ve been having the past couple days is the residual smoke from the Canadian wildfires blowing over the City?! Who knew?! And yes, “milky haze” was the weatherman’s term, not mine!


























Pretty much clear skies & calm waters this morning.
Very serene for another sunrise bike ride along the lakefront.
A beautiful start to another beautiful week.






















Definitely a lot of clouds this morning… with even more wind blowing & waves crashing all around! The ride south towards the City was great fun… thank you tailwinds!!! But then the turnaround ride back was a lot tougher… pedal hard. Luckily, there was a lot of “action” going on in the lake to keep my eyes on!




































After a full day of being “trapped” in the studio firing the soda kiln & cleaning my studio yesterday… it felt extra great to get out on my bike this morning for a little sunrise bike ride. So hard to believe that today is the start of September… wait, what?! When did THAT happen???
