Not a lot of clouds this morning… but the few we did get really worked some magic. Just a layer of low-flying clouds on the horizon. But when the sun finally worked its way through, we got some great layered-sun looks & shimmering reflections. Definitely worth the wait.

Quiet & calm along the lakefront. Not a lot of clouds… but just enough to make a colorful splash. And beautiful reflections on the rippled water.

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday we had crazy cool colorful clouds everywhere… and today none!!! Just a quiet sunrise over a fairly calm lake. Nothing too crazy. Just a quiet & serene Sunday sunrise.

STUNNING!
One of the most colorful skyshows we’ve had in awhile.
Plenty of clouds & plenty of colors that kept evolving as the morning went on.
A stunning way to start my Saturday!

And the drama was back… with great clouds working the sky! Colorful splashes across dark clouds as they moved across the sky. Another beautiful start to another beautiful day!

Early morning sunrise… just in time as the clouds were moving in fast. You could see the large bank of clouds moving in just as the sun was finally shining through. Beautiful reflections as the sky closed in… seemingly for the rest of the day.

After a full day of Summer Camp, I was seduced by blue skies… and just had to make a quick escape onto my bike along the lakefront. Beautiful shades of blue as I pedaled along the lake. And now… a quick shower & then back to my studio for the night!!

Not a cloud in the skies… except for a small cluster of wispy pinks a bit to the south of the sunrise?! A fairly quiet & seemingly uneventful sunrise… quiet, serene & very relaxed. That is until I met a “friend” along the path…

I must admit that I had high hopes for a beautiful sunrise this morning. Lots of clouds for the sun to splash colors against. However, I fear that the sun was just on the wrong side of the clouds. And we barely got to see the sun at all… which caused a lot of sunrise drama, but not a colorful skyshow!

And so the heatwave continues. Another hot night, another hot morning. Sure, I coulda stayed in bed longer… but I can sweat on my bike just as much as in my bed! So why not get up early to enjoy the beautiful sunrise while it’s out there? And I did… then it was home, shower, change & off to Summer Camp!
