Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day… The colors were pretty glorious this morning & the temps a few degrees warmer than the last week. It felt great to have a beautiful bike ride with a beautiful sunrise this morning… with one less layer than usual!

Cold & breezy with some layered colors this morning.
I was hoping for a sunrise “breakthrough”… but it kinda faded into grayness.

Oh well… maybe tomorrow?

And while it was cloudy & gray before the sunrise, it was fun to find another flag that someone has placed at the end of a pier out by the lighthouse. Dark & gloomy… with a splash of piece, love & TIE-DYE!!!

Such an amazing way to start the day. Pastel colors blowing through the city as the waves came crashing in. A chilly start… but now I’m ready for Thanksgiving at my sister’s place for PIE!!!

Such a joy to finally see the sun again this morning. Sure it was cold… about 27-degrees when I started out… but there have been far too many dark gray & dreary days in a row. I just had to get out on my bike for a beautiful sunrise. Plus, I found a new flag that someone put out by the lake that really made me SMILE!!!

Lots of clouds this morning with what I thought might be some good potential for a pretty sunrise after days of dark & dreary mornings. I was wrong. We had a hint of color… before the clouds took over… and then a little bit of drizzle started… ABORT!!! And I headed home… mwah, mwah, mwah…

I’ve always said that the half-hour BEFORE the actual sun rises over the horizon is my favorite part of a sunrise. Because that is when the beautiful colors appear… and THIS kind of morning magic happens!!! Amazing!!!

I’m back in the saddle again… and it was well worth the wait! My bike is back, and it felt great to get out this morning for a windy & cloudy ride along the lakefront. For awhile I thought there might just be too many clouds to allow for a colored sky-show… but I was wrong! A wonderful splash of color for just a few minutes before it faded behind the clouds once more. But I still got to pedal… with new & improved, non-broken, pedaling mechanisms!!!

A quiet November morning with just a few wispy clouds & a morning chill.
The last morning pedal before the time change and we Fall-back an hour overnight tonight.

Today it was WINDY AGAIN!!!
Unseasonably warm, but very windy.

The clouds kept blowing through as I pedaled into the wind for the first half… but then “flew” home with a fun tailwind!!! And the clouds played along so much better today than yesterday… allowing the sunrise colors to splash across the clouds before the sun disappeared behind the clouds once again.
