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.

Yesterday morning was WINDY!!! With a lot of clouded potential, I had high hopes for a beautiful sunrise. But alas, the clouds kept blowing through, I kept pedaling into the headwinds… and the sun made a VERY brief appearance popping out over the low-flying clouds, and then going right back behind a few moments later.

Another beautiful Fall morning with a chilly breeze & splashing waves that caught me off guard. It was calm yesterday… but not today?! Always fun when the waves are splashing & the sun is shining… trying to catch them both at the same time… and trying even harder not to get wet!

Clear skies… but cold enough that I could see my breath.
And I didn’t like that!!!

CRAZY-COOL CLOUDS this morning!!! With plenty of clouds covering the morning sky, I knew were bound for some colorful fun as I head out early on my bike. And I wasn’t disappointed… until it all came to an end as the sun disappeared back into the gray clouds for the rest of the morning.

Some beautiful autumn clouds this morning… and so many variations as the sun worked it way out. Lots of colors, lots of drama… and very cool “finish” as the sun aligned with the lighthouse at Hollywood Beach as it finally peeked over the horizon.
