Another warm morning to start the day… surprisingly warm!
Today was amazing… it felt almost like summer again! And I’m here for it!!!

Early morning sunrise with complementary colors… orange & blue.

One color to the next… “Good morning color, you look great today!”

A cloudy start for a chilly Fall day. I was hoping for some sunrise color to splash all over those clouds… but alas, not much color. Just clouds. With a bit of a chill & clouds to start the day, it looks like it might be a good day for the Chicago Marathon runners. They’ve put in the work training, now put in the marathon miles & smiles!!!

Another beautiful morning… with colorful wispy clouds.
A little warmer today for a gentle morning ride along the lakefront.
The best way to start my special day!!!

Not a lot of clouds. Not a lot of drama.
Just ONE stunning sunrise!!!

With all that is happening with Hurricane Milton down in Florida tonight, it was oddly quiet & serene along the Lake Michigan lakefront this morning. Crazy-cool splashy crashing waves for the past couple days… and today just somewhat serene with some gently rolling waves. While we enjoy beautiful Fall weather this week in Chicago… we’re also sending out good luck vibes to those in the path of Milton tonight. Hang in there & stay safe!

Another “splashtastic” sunrise morning. Always trying to “catch the wave” without it catching me!!! I know this is a lot of splashy photos… but this is what I narrowed it down to. Trust me… I started with twice as many!!! HA!!!

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday was all windy & splashy. Today, not so much. It was much quieter along the lakefront this morning with a bit of a haze over the lake. A nice morning ride… albeit except for the flat tire I got halfway through! ugh.

Plenty of clouds & plenty of pretty. It was another beautiful morning to be outside playing along the lakefront today. And it sure does feel like Fall now… crispy & chilly… I even had to pull out the long sleeves & gloves this morning! Yikes!… too soon, too soon!!!

Clouded reflections with just a few fleeting moments of sunrise peeking through… before disappearing behind the clouds again. Luckily for us, the clouds moved out later in the day and we had a beautiful day. Perfect for the first day of October!!!
