Meanwhile… off to the side… while the sunrise was happening over the lake,
a slight glance to the south had THIS stunning sunrise floating over the skyline!

Early morning before the sunrise…

One big cloud… one distant skyline!

Earlier today… a perfect reason to play hooky & take a break from the studio this afternoon. Gorgeous weather… hope everyone had a chance to get outside today!!!

A very cloudy morning with very few people out on the lakefront trail?! Perhaps they all knew something that I didn’t??? As I pedaled south I felt strong riding into the wind.

When I turned around down by Navy Pier, I saw a big dark cloud moving in up north by my condo. I checked my weather app… and it said “rain starting in fifteen minutes.” And let’s just say… I was further from home than fifteen minutes. So… the ride home was fast & rainy… and once your wet, you can’t get any wetter!!!

It was like the City was wrapped in a single pink ribbon… RIP Dolly.

Looks like someone has been doing the “time-honored” job of DIVVY Diving! Pulling some rental bikes out of the lake. These bikes are a bit cleaner than usual… must have been a somewhat recent plunge for these ones!!!

A little afternoon “escape” to the lakefront. So beautiful outside today… albeit a bit windy with choppy waters. Just glad we didn’t have THIS water on Sunday for the triathlon!!
