After a long rainy spell, it was nice to have a dry morning with a beautifully clouded sunrise. Great colors moving across the sky… as the clouds continued to move in. And it looks like it may just turn into another gray day.

Starting the week off right. My first sunrise of the New Year!
The long holiday break was nice… but it also feels good to be “easing” back into the routine!

Finally a morning where the roads weren’t wet or shiny… and the clouds gave us a chance for a colorful morning. Well, the clouds had potential…. but the “cloud-ness” won out over a colorful skyshow. We got a brief splash of color… and then back to gray clouds. And it felt great to be back out on my bike… even if it was gray & cloudy!

After a very full weekend of “Holiday Home Show-ing”… it felt great to get out this morning for another beautiful sunrise bike ride. Some wonderful cloud colors ever-changing through the sky… until it kind of petered-out into basic grayness.

The snow is gone, and the warmer temperatures are back… at least for a couple days! And I’ll take it!!! Not a lot of clouds today. Just some “confused” contrails criss-crossing the sky!

An early morning glow… as the clouds continue to move in.

We knew that the running streak of stunning sunrises couldn’t last forever… but what we lacked in stunning, may have been made up for with a few great splashes?!!!

Again, sometimes bigger skyshows just need bigger photos!!!

Another day with another OUTSTANDING sunrise skyshow!!!
A picture is worth a thousand words!

Have I mentioned lately that Autumn is my favorite season? Not only for all of the gorgeous Fall colors… but it seems like we also get some pretty darn AMAZING sunrises!!! More frequently in Fall than in other seasons. And I’m here for it!!! Loving that our Fall season, colored trees & dramatic sunrises are hanging on longer than usual here in Chicago.
