Not a lot of clouds, but a good amount of hazy colors.
Shimmering reflections on perfectly still water. A very serene morning on my bike.

Layers of clouds. Layers of colors. Layers of places for the sun to hide behind. Another beautiful morning for a bike ride along the lakefront.

A lot of clouds this morning… enough that I was questioning if were even going to see the sun at all this morning? And we did… flying low & showing off in crazy colors! But only for a few minutes… and then back behind the clouds!

Another quiet morning without a lot of sunrise drama.
Just a few simple clouds floating quietly along the horizon.

With gently breezes blowing in off the lake, the clouds were spotty
& catching the colors nicely as the sun continued to rise

Quiet waters & shimmering reflections… that’s how I’m gonna sum it up today.

The weather forecast for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR seems to be “beautiful & partly cloudy”… which also worked great for this morning’s sunrise bike ride. I love when there are some good clouds for the sun to play with. Changing the colors & layers throughout the morning. Making the ride a little tougher than it needs to be… as I just “need” to stop more often to capture the ever-changing sunrise effects!!! … oh shucks.

Early morning glow with clear skies all around.
Quiet & serene, with just a bit of a chill in the air.
A beautiful start to the day!!!

After a few days & nights of crazy storms in Chicago, it was nice to get up this morning for beautiful start to what looks like a beautiful day. There are still flooded streets, branches down & washed out areas along the beaches… but it looks like the sun is coming out to play today!

With a sky full of clouds this morning, I kind of wondered if we would even get to see the sun at all today?! And then the colors started… and didn’t stop until the AMAZING sky show was complete!!! It was another early start to the day, and well worth every minute. Anyone looking out a half hour later would have seen nothing but gray clouds for the rest of the morning!
