With one beautiful cluster of clouds on the horizon, the timing was kinda perfect for some stunning sunrise reflections… and a peek-a-boo sunrise moment or two!!!

After the storms that rolled through yesterday, it feels like some of the “wildfire smoke” has been washed away. It was so nice to finally see the sun again… bright, clear & shiny while reflecting on the rippled lake.

“Second verse, same as the first”… another murky & monochromatic morning.
Looks like the smoky haze from the Canadian wildfires is back with us for a few days… ugh.

Another murky & monochromatic Monday morning.
My weather app showed clear & sunny this morning… they lied.

And just one quick photo… to show that my morning photos shoots don’t always go according to plan!!! But I’ll still try… and take one for the team!

So when I mentioned yesterday that I LOVE the cloudy & moody mornings… I’m not sure I meant quite this much?!!! It was pretty “drama-filled” this morning with the windy gusts, crashing waves & plenty of clouds!!!

Dramatic clouds covering the sky this morning… loving the color & the moody changes. I always prefer the dramatic cloudy mornings over the clear sky sunrises. Today was a good one!

Quiet reflections rippling on the lake. A wonderful morning with cooler temperatures, lower humidity & no smoky haze… such a great way to start the morning.

So when I checked it early this morning, my weather app said clear & sunny for the sunrise… they lied.

Okay… so there might have been a little message about poor air quality that I “may have” overlooked… as it seems like the smoke from the Canadian wildfires has blown back into town again?!

But yesterday started with the usual plan… kicking off my day the best way possible! And there was plenty of sunrise beauty to share! Great color, great reflections… and even a sliver of the moon as I started off in the morning darkness.
