Beautiful sunrise colors sweeping across the sky and backlighting the Chicago Skyline.

Looks like we’re off to a beautiful start to a great weekend. Perfect for the Evanston Lakeshore Fine Arts Festival in Dawes Park today & tomorrow. I’ll be in Booth #32 at the southeast end of the pond.

And then, sometimes THIS happens… timing is everything…

Quite hot & humid even in the early hours this morning. You know that feeling you have when your feet get all “pruney” after a long day of biking in rain soaked bike shoes? How you feel a wet squishy “bubble” every time you press the pedal down? Well I had that this morning… and it was all SWEAT!!! Gross… but a beautiful ride!!!

The clouds… the view… the silhouettes…

And the HUGE sun as it slowly emerged over the horizon…

And then all too soon, the orange sunrise was replaced with a vibrant golden shimmer.

A little mid-afternoon haze rolling through the City this afternoon.
It was very warm & steamy today… but still a beautiful day for another after-Camp bike ride!

With a quick glance to the south, the Chicago Skyline was framed nicely by a bank of sunrise pink clouds.

The morning started with beautifully saturated calico clouds. As the breeze blew through the City they dissipated a bit, but kept the drama on the horizon.

Beautifully colored calico clouds spotted across the sky. Followed by gentle rolling waves that created wonderful reflections of my “floating” bike on the water’s edge.

Spotty clouds over the water with bigger clouds blowing through the City. So dense that the tops of the buildings seemed to me missing?! Beautiful sunrise & sunbeams one way, truncated buildings the other.
