So nice and warm this morning.
Beautiful sunrise, beautiful clouds… and a beautiful tailwind home to boot!!!

This morning was quiet & subtle. Layers of clouds that continued to change as the sun kept trying its best to pop through the low lying cloud layer. Some pretty color early on before the color of the day turned to gray.

Early morning color on the horizon.
Beautiful silhouettes as the orange shades kept evolving & changing.

Another beautiful sunrise. Another beautiful diversion. Sure, I “should be” focused on getting my taxes done… but c’mon, my bike was calling me!!!

It was another chilly morning with clear skies.
Just the finest line of small clouds along the horizon.

The lake was more than a little choppy…
making it a fun sunrise game of catching the waves at the perfect moment.

Timing is everything!

And I just LOVE that exact moment when the sun just barely peeks over the horizon.
Such a brief moment of time. Mere seconds. A hot spot on the horizon. A sparkle of sunshine.

And then all too soon, the sun comes up in full force. And the game of catching the moment continues. The moment when the “light” shows up in the lighthouse, but not as intended.

Plus the ever-popular game of catching the perfect waves as they get illuminated by the morning sunrise!

Classic. Cloud-free… and COLD!!!
I had to put all of the Winter layers back on for this morning’s ride!
So what happened to Spring???

This morning was surprisingly cold. After a few warm days, I must admit I was caught off guard… but ready for a beautiful sunrise. The large clouds moving in made for some great sunrise drama.

Unfortunately, those same large clouds took over as the sun disappeared for the day.

And now… just for the record… it’s SNOWING outside!!! What? Crazy, right?!!!
