Another quiet morning with a few clouds gently wafting through. A nice respite from this week’s “heatwave” with slightly cooler morning temps & a nice breeze along the lakefront.

A quiet start to a shortened week. Serene sunrise reflections with just a few clouds playing in the sky. A great way to start our four-day work week… except for those of us that have an art fair next weekend… which makes it a SIX-DAY work week for me!!!

A little on the monochromatic & hazy side of things this morning. Quiet & serene… luckily with a bit of a sunny breakthrough at the end. Shimmering reflections without much of a cloud-show!

While the clouds seem to have moved in for the day, this morning started off with clouds in all the right places. Beautiful sunrises reflections & lighthouse silhouettes to start the day.

A clouded start to another morning along the lakefront. There was some good sunrise potential… and yet the sun never quite made it through the clouds. As there was a thick layer hovering low on the horizon, and another large band moving in. Some good clouded views & reflections… but we never really got the colorful clouds I was hoping for.

A cloudy start… with some good sunrise potential that never really quite came together?! The sun tried peeking through, but instead we were kinda stuck with a monochromatic morning!

Not a lot of clouds, not a lot of excitement. Just another quiet morning riding along the lakefront enjoying the morning sun… and the early Spring warmth of the morning. So nice not to have to pile on the layers any more?! Hoping we’re done with that… but it’s Chicago!!! It could always snow tomorrow?! HA!!!

Another beautiful morning with a few clouds flying low on the horizon. It’s a little weird, but in the best way possible, getting re-acclimated to the warmer weather this week. I’m used to wearing several layers… but now it’s time to start peeling them off. I had on too many this morning… but wasn’t quite ready to peel them off quite yet. I’m not “crazy” like the three guys at the end!!!

The weather has definitely taken a turn for the better here in Chicago! After a stretch of cold, clouds & rain… we finally have a forecast for incredible warm Spring weather for the next week or so! And after firing inside all day yesterday… it felt great to start today outside on my bike!!! Good chance that will happen again later this afternoon… allegedly…

A cloudy start to the day… with one large cloud moving in from the north. I was hoping we might squeeze in a sunrise moment, but the cloud took over too soon! And it looks like the clouds may have won for the rest of the day?!
