The morning sky started out a little “cloudy”…
and I was wondering if the hazy sky would ever clear up?  Luckily… it did.

Another simple morning.
Quiet… clear… still… orange… simple.

The lakefront was very loud this morning… with cool winds coming in off the lake and waves
crashing all around. So much fun watching the sun sparkling off the crashing waves…
and trying to capture the “splash” at just the right moment.

Another early morning…

Which gave me some extra time to hang out down on Navy Pier while the sun
was making another stunning appearance over the lakefront!

The sunrise keeps getting earlier… and therefore so does my alarm clock.
Fewer people on the path at that time of the morning.
But look what they’re missing!

I started out a little earlier than usual… while it was still pretty darn dark!

And then the sun was getting ready to make it over the horizon, a back of clouds made
their way into place. Adding a little more color & drama to the morning sky.

But then as I was headed home, thinking that I had already captured the sunrise on film,
the sun seemed to be in just the right place at the right time. Creating another beautiful view
over Belmont Harbor. Perfect for bikers and joggers apparently…

Finally… some wispy clouds for the morning sun to play with!
And the results were stunning…

We’ve had such a string of incredible weather.
Every morning has been beautiful. This morning I made it further down the path
adding a few miles to the journey… making Northerly Island today’s turn-around!
And still back in time for summer camp Day Two…

And a quick question… do you like the sunrise better on the left or right?!

Serene. Calming. Relaxing.
And yet I hate to admit it… a bit anticlimactic after yesterday’s red skies!
