Not overly cloudy this morning. Not much sunrise drama.
Guess it was maybe those GUSTY WINDS that took care of them?!

As I was pedaling home, you could see the next wave of clouds blowing in. Too late to make it for sunrise fun!!! So instead of a beautiful sky show, I had crazy winds swirling all around & fun little “wind-waves” fluttering about on the lake.

Luckily, the less-than-stellar sunrise was “saved” by a really cool weeping willow silhouette!

Okay, one last procrastination before I “really” focus on my taxes.
I had to do this blog post, right?… people want to see… right?!… right NOW, right?!

Another beautiful morning & another wonderful ride.
I would so much rather be out there this afternoon than inside “working” on my taxes?!!!

Oh, right-right-right… if I had done them sooner… like a month or two ago…

Rippled reflections on another beautiful morning along the lakefront.
The clouds were saturated with color making the perfect backdrop for some beautiful morning silhouettes.

It was another beautiful morning. With just the right amount of clouds in the sky. With wind blowing in from the south, the clouds “wisped” in at just the right time for the sun to peek over the horizon. And my ride back home was pretty darn sweet with that tailwind!!!

While many of you went to “Mass” this past weekend…
I prefer mine to be a beautiful sunrise cloud mass!!! And this morning truly delivered
with one large cloud creating colorful drama across the sky!

All too soon, the sun went behind the cloud mass. More gray. More clouds… less color.
mwah, mwah, mwah…

A bit further down the road…
the sun seemed to find a small hole in the clouds for a brief “second showing”.

With a forecasted “promise” of a warmer day, it was still a bit colder than I expected.

At least there was a clear sky ALL day today.
Lots of sunshine and we got the warmer weather as promised.

And when the sun finally revealed itself on the horizon, nothing but clear skies.
No major clouds. Just a simple clarity… and simple beauty!!!

This morning started out cold & clear.
Not but one lonely cloud in the sky.

Later in the day however, we traded off the cold temp for a bunch of clouds. It’s been cloudy gray all afternoon… but almost 30-degrees warmer!!!

Fair trade-off for today I guess.

Not much in the way of sun this morning.
Just a lot of chilling clouds. Pretty… but chilly & blue.
