Sheesh…. this sunrise seems so long ago?! Somehow the day got away from me… what with working & Ghouls & teaching… oh my! So I finally got home from class and realized I hadn’t posted my morning photos yet?! So here they are… and I hope they were worth the wait. I loved the quiet calmness this morning. And the perfectly still water giving us some spectacular reflections & glistening colors. Beautifully quiet & serene along the lake this morning… and a beautiful sky show too… STUNNING!!!

After a fun birthday dinner for my Dad last night, with far too much pizza & ooey-gooey-fudgey-marshmallowey-birthday cake… I was looking forward to a nice morning ride to compensate for last night’s festivities! I was a couple miles in when the rain started… although nothing was listed on my weather app?! So I aborted that plan & started to head home in the rain. But then the rain stopped… so I continued north instead. We never got a real sunrise to speak of… but the clouds were nice. And I still managed to get in some good mileage!!!

Just loving these last few days of Summer!
The weather was AMAZING again this morning…
warm & humid with a gentle breeze for an easy ride home.

Another quiet sunrise morning. Very little breeze. Very little movement. It felt very “quiet” as I pedaled along the lakefront. At least until we had a nice moment with the sun rising behind one of Chicago’s “water cribs” out in the lake. Sometimes… timing is everything!

A quiet morning along the beach. Not much in the way of clouds… until a wispy patch of pastel clouds popped up out of nowhere?! And then it was back to a low-flying layer of clouds on the horizon with silhouettes of a lighthouse & sea grasses.

Not much in the way of clouds this morning… just some great criss-crossing contrails to make the sunrise special. Another warm morning… kinda feels like summer is hanging on a little longer! And I’m definitely here for it!!!

Just clear sailing up & down the lakefront bike trail this morning.
A bit of a breeze… and a bit more sweat!!!

Humid & warm as I headed out the door this morning. Not much in the way of clouds… just a dense layer hanging low on the horizon.

Another beautiful morning along the lakefront, although the humidity seems to have returned. I was kinda surprised when the sweat kicked-in… it’s been awhile since we’ve had such a humid morning?! Don’t care… I’m a great sweat-er!!! Just another part of my morning ritual.
