Another beautiful morning with pastel clouds sweeping across the horizon.

Day Two of the Evanston Lakeshore Art Fair, and once again I had plenty of time to “play” along the Lakeshore before the start of the show at 11:00am. So what better way to “play” than with another sunrise bike ride and a quick swim?! Perfectly still waters… good for my swim!!!

One of the benefits of the Evanston Lakeshore Arts Festival NOT starting until 11:00am is that I had plenty of time to play on my bike this morning. More fun on the same lakefront, just further south along Monroe Harbor. And now… off to the art fair for final touches before we open!!! Hope to see you there… looks like a beautiful day!

It’s going to be a busy day.
Last day of this week’s Summer Camp AND setting up for this weekend’s art fair in Evanston. But never too busy to start it off with another bike ride!!!

Loving the pink skies, clear reflections AND the transparent clear water.

Another cloudy morning. But today the clouds allowed the sun to play amongst them.
A shimmer. A shine.

And a wonderful sky show of dramatic clouds and the sun rays popping through.

Yesterday started out with gloomy skies & dark clouds on the horizon. I was pleased to find a quick “pop” of whimsy on Oak Street Beach. Someone was putting their “best feet forward” in a not-so-subtle advertisement for the Rene Magritte exhibit at the Art Institute. Made me smile… as did the sliver of a sunrise shimmer that followed.

The lighting was just right when I got home from my morning ride. While watering the balcony plants, I saw the red caladium light up with the sun shining through. Every vein. Every texture. Every color.

A hazy, humid Sunday morning.
Low flying clouds shrouding the city.
Tranquil waters. Quiet.
Sunrise shimmering upon the glassy surface.
