This morning’s bike ride was beautiful. Very crisp & clear.
You can definitely tell that summer is ending and fall will quickly be here.

But then I took these shots of the orange sunrise… and my bike of course.
And I couldn’t decide which one was better? Orange #1 or Orange #2?!!!

Another beautiful morning… another beautiful sunrise…
only made better because I was on my bike…

So this morning’s bike ride was pretty uneventful…
smooth ride… calming sunrise… cool breeze… same ol’ beautiful!!!

But as I was riding back home, I turned a corner to go past the soccer fields…
and the sun was in just the right place as it illuminated the morning mist
hanging over the fields… I had to stop… I had to be part of it.
What a surreal moment being engulfed in the glowing mist.

Another morning ride. Another sunrise.
And a great chance to loosen up my still tight & tired legs from yesterday’s ride!
A little “hair of the dog that bit ya” so to speak…
which would be a little funnier if it weren’t so true!!!   almost…

A couple days later… the newly thrown cylinders have dried a bit
so they are now a little stiffer, not quite sticky – and a good stage for stamping.
So I stamped all of the “soon-to-be-mugs” going down the line…
and then trimmed all of the bottoms again going down the line!

Handles will have to wait for another day…

Ever feel so small in the big scheme of things?
