Another beautiful Fall morning with a chilly breeze & splashing waves that caught me off guard. It was calm yesterday… but not today?! Always fun when the waves are splashing & the sun is shining… trying to catch them both at the same time… and trying even harder not to get wet!

Clear skies… but cold enough that I could see my breath.
And I didn’t like that!!!

CRAZY-COOL CLOUDS this morning!!! With plenty of clouds covering the morning sky, I knew were bound for some colorful fun as I head out early on my bike. And I wasn’t disappointed… until it all came to an end as the sun disappeared back into the gray clouds for the rest of the morning.

Some beautiful autumn clouds this morning… and so many variations as the sun worked it way out. Lots of colors, lots of drama… and very cool “finish” as the sun aligned with the lighthouse at Hollywood Beach as it finally peeked over the horizon.

Another warm morning to start the day… surprisingly warm!
Today was amazing… it felt almost like summer again! And I’m here for it!!!

Early morning sunrise with complementary colors… orange & blue.

One color to the next… “Good morning color, you look great today!”

A cloudy start for a chilly Fall day. I was hoping for some sunrise color to splash all over those clouds… but alas, not much color. Just clouds. With a bit of a chill & clouds to start the day, it looks like it might be a good day for the Chicago Marathon runners. They’ve put in the work training, now put in the marathon miles & smiles!!!

Another beautiful morning… with colorful wispy clouds.
A little warmer today for a gentle morning ride along the lakefront.
The best way to start my special day!!!

With all that is happening with Hurricane Milton down in Florida tonight, it was oddly quiet & serene along the Lake Michigan lakefront this morning. Crazy-cool splashy crashing waves for the past couple days… and today just somewhat serene with some gently rolling waves. While we enjoy beautiful Fall weather this week in Chicago… we’re also sending out good luck vibes to those in the path of Milton tonight. Hang in there & stay safe!

Another “splashtastic” sunrise morning. Always trying to “catch the wave” without it catching me!!! I know this is a lot of splashy photos… but this is what I narrowed it down to. Trust me… I started with twice as many!!! HA!!!
