With a little chill in the air, it felt good to be out on my bike without that “humid slap in the face” this morning! With one large cloud flying low on the horizon, it was just a matter of time waiting for that very brief moment for the sun to appear… knowing that it would disappear behind the clouds just as fast.

Cloudy, breezy & quite humid. Not the best “sunrise” bike ride…
but still a great bike ride… and still a great way to start my day!

Quiet shimmers & golden-orange reflections along the lakefront this morning. A little on the humid side… but I’m always more than willing to “sweat” for another beautiful sunrise like this!

A beautiful sunrise along the lakefront with colorful clouds flying low on the horizon. A gorgeous way to start day… before heading back out for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. Just a little re-stocking & re-arranging and I’ll be all ready to go!

Lots of clouds this morning… dark & gloomy. I was hoping for some colorful clouds as the sun came up. Instead we got more dark clouds… and I even pedaled through some sprinkles!!! And NOT the yummy candy jimmies kind of sprinkles!

This morning was a great example of MORE IS MORE!
More clouds. More color. More drama.
More fun pedaling along the lakefront to start my day!!!

Another beautiful morning with some dramatic clouds blowing through. I will say that I felt strong & sure this morning as I was pedaling along the lakefront… until I turned around to head home… INTO the headwind!!! I guess I didn’t really realize that I was “enjoying” the tailwind the whole way down… no wonder I was going fast & strong?!!!

Another beautiful start to the day… not a lot of clouds on the horizon. But those that made it in time were quite pretty as they took on the morning’s colors. A bit cooler than yesterday… but you could already feel it getting warmer… again!

Not many clouds in the sky… but you can already tell it’s going to be a HOT day when you wake up this early… and it’s already warm & steamy. I was a sweaty mess by the end of my ride… and it’s just gonna get hotter all day!

Quiet morning with a large cloud moving through… creating some early morning drama along the lakefront before the reflections began. Still a perfect way to start the day!
