Another quiet morning without a lot of sunrise drama.
Just a few simple clouds floating quietly along the horizon.

With gently breezes blowing in off the lake, the clouds were spotty
& catching the colors nicely as the sun continued to rise

Quiet waters & shimmering reflections… that’s how I’m gonna sum it up today.

The weather forecast for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR seems to be “beautiful & partly cloudy”… which also worked great for this morning’s sunrise bike ride. I love when there are some good clouds for the sun to play with. Changing the colors & layers throughout the morning. Making the ride a little tougher than it needs to be… as I just “need” to stop more often to capture the ever-changing sunrise effects!!! … oh shucks.

Dramatic clouds flying low on the horizon this morning.
The water was perfectly still… which also gave us some incredible reflections!
Another beautiful sunrise bike ride.

And now to get to the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR to finish setting up!!!
Stop by today & tomorrow from 11:00am-5:00pm!

Early morning glow with clear skies all around.
Quiet & serene, with just a bit of a chill in the air.
A beautiful start to the day!!!

After a few days & nights of crazy storms in Chicago, it was nice to get up this morning for beautiful start to what looks like a beautiful day. There are still flooded streets, branches down & washed out areas along the beaches… but it looks like the sun is coming out to play today!

With a sky full of clouds this morning, I kind of wondered if we would even get to see the sun at all today?! And then the colors started… and didn’t stop until the AMAZING sky show was complete!!! It was another early start to the day, and well worth every minute. Anyone looking out a half hour later would have seen nothing but gray clouds for the rest of the morning!

With just a simple wisp of colored clouds, the morning turned out to be calm & clear. The perfect chance to pedal down to Promontory Point & back… before the craziness of NASCAR downtown sets in today!!!

Another splash-tastic morning along the lake. Not a cloud in the sky, but plenty of “entertainment” along the shoreline as the waves came crashing in.
