Wispy clouds & shimmering harbor reflections. Another quiet sunrise bike ride along the lakefront before Summer Camp. Always the best way to start my day!

You gotta love a great morning sunrise skyshow… complete with ever changing clouds & colors!

Some fun clouds this morning & a small sliver of a crescent moon.
Hazy & humid with a slight chilly breeze… a great way to start the week!!!

A beautiful start to the weekend. Quiet rippled reflections with some wispy clouds in the sky. There was a dark band along the horizon which just delayed the “reveal” for awhile… but still worth the wait. And… does anyone else see an American flag in the early morning sunrise?… or is it just me???

And now… quick shower, breakfast & then off to the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR.
Hope to see you there!!!

After yesterday’s quickie storm, we were left with plenty of rain… and this morning found a few downed trees along the lakefront bike trail. Well, not really “along”… but more ON TOP OF the bike trail!!! Imagine my surprise pedaling fast, turning a corner and seeing this pop up in front of you!!! Big enough trees that they also took down a few street lamps & part of the golf course fencing!

Lots of clouded drama along the lakefront this morning. Just a small window of opportunity for the sun to poke through… but it never did. Instead we were treated to cooler breezes & crashing waves along the lakefront.

It wasn’t all that hot this morning, but the humidity must have been through the roof… ‘cuz I was one huge sweaty mess… literally dripping!!! I had to stop several times just to wipe the sweat out of my eyes!!! Hard to see the sunrise when your eyes are burning from the sweat!!! HA!!!

A quiet & hazy morning ride with a bit of a chill in the air. With a low-flying “marine layer” of haze on the horizon, it took awhile for the sun to finally appear… but when it did, the shimmering reflections were well worth the wait!

Quiet skies & shimmering reflections. Another beautiful morning along the lakefront… perfect for a quiet morning bike ride.

Not a lot of clouds, not a lot of drama.
Just another beautiful morning to ride along the lakefront.

So I did.
