Another morning with a good amount of clouds… but not such a good amount of color? I thought we might get a nice splash of color this morning… but instead, the sun popped out for a brief moment and then hid behind the clouds for the rest of my ride!

Yesterday we had a fleeting moment of sunrise… and the day seem to be fleeting by too as it was over before I knew it!!! But we had a sliver of sunrise color yesterday with good potential for more… but the clouds won out with some dramatic peek-thru’s along the way!

I don’t want this Summer to end!!! The weather this past couple weeks has been just AMAZING!!! A bit crisp in the morning, but stunning the rest of the day… sunny, warm but not hot, no humidity, slight breeze… what more could I ask for???

After a fun weekend of “standing around” all day at ART IN THE GARDEN… my muscles were happy to get back on the bike to work-out some kinks! A quiet morning without a lot of sunrise drama. Just clear skies with a cool breeze!

A beautiful albeit chilly ride this morning… long sleeves, gloves & 48-degrees!!!… brrrrr!!! But I was ready to pedal & get this day started. And now it’s back to the garden for Day Two of ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview, Illinois!

Looking for something fun to do today?… come on out to the garden to say “Hi” and see some great art & chat with some of my talented friends!!!

Another crazy morning along the lakefront. With a pretty thick layer of clouds bumbling along the horizon… I knew we would have to wait for awhile for the sun to make an appearance. I wasn’t sure if it would break through & add some color to the clouds or not. But I was thrilled to see we had some crashing & splashing waves to “entertain us” while waiting for the sun!

Somehow the day got away from me?… too busy all day long. Seems like the sunrise this morning was SO long ago. But I think it was pretty darn amazing… so I hope it was worth the wait!!! Crazy cool colors as the skyshow continued to evolve all morning long… before cloudy grayness took over for the rest of the day.

Taking a quick break from the ALASKA photos…
I have more, don’t worry… but today we’re back in Chicago!

For another stunning sunrise along the lakefront… with not a cloud in the sky!
It was a bit humid this morning…. errr, sweaty!… but oh, so very still & serene.

We’re kicking off September without a cloud in the sky!!! The weather these past few days has been just INCREDIBLE!!! And it looks like we’re in for another spectacular day today. Happy Labor Day… is that a thing?… do you even “wish” people a Happy Labor Day??? Enjoy either way…

Just hoping we have incredible weather next weekend too for ART IN THE GARDEN!!!

After being “trapped inside” the studio firing the soda kiln all day yesterday…. it felt great to get out this morning for another stunning sunrise ride. So quiet & still with great clouds & great reflections. Always the best way to start my day!
