A beautiful start to a beautiful day! Looks like we’re going to have PERFECT weather for “Art In The Barn” in Barrington! And the forecast looks pretty good for tomorrow too!!! So come on out for a fun day of pottery, artists & barns!!!

But still… even a flat tire is a small price to pay for a panoramic sunrise like this!!!
ANOTHER STUNNING SUNRISE!!!

Another glorious morning with a good amount of cloud-cover & early sunrise potential. We started with some dark clouds & hopes for a colorful sky-show! And this morning did not disappoint. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Clear skies with just a hint of banded clouds along the horizon. There was definitely a chill in the air… so it was long sleeves & gloves!!! Crazy, right?! It definitely felt like FALL this morning!

And now, quick shower & change… and then back to ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview for Day Two of our grassroots art fair. We’d love to see you today!!!

Not a cloud in the sky.
Just a beautiful morning for a beautiful bike ride.

With just a sliver of sunrise… and a lot of clouds just above the horizon, it was another amazing bike ride morning! I had kinda hoped for the sun to illuminate the clouds & splash fun colors everywhere… but alas, it was not to be!

Pedal on…

Lots of clouds, but not a lot of sunrise this morning! Some dramatic cloud-cover hanging low on the horizon out over the lake. I kept hoping for some sunrise colors to splash across the clouds… but it never quite happened. So we got a lot of drama with some crashing waves to boot!

And while the sunrise was doing beautiful things over the lake… sometimes you need to look behind you too! This striking cloud was playing this morning over the former Edgewater Beach Hotel. The pink hotel with pink clouds… how coincidental.

What a difference a few clouds can make when creating a beautiful sunrise. Sure, the perfectly clear sky is okay too… but I much prefer the drama, the colors & the splash of light upon the clouds. Ever-changing throughout the morning as I pedal along the lakefront. Seriously… the best way to start my day!!!

Striking clouds creating a colorful sunrise & moody reflections on the lake. This morning was ever-changing as the sun played amongst the clouds. Seemed like I was stopping every few minutes as the sky-show kept changing! And I didn’t mind at all… as it was STUNNING!!!
