Sure, the temperature was pretty cold this morning, but without any wind at all… it actually felt wonderful! A nice sunrise along the lakefront without the biting winter winds?… I’ll take it!!!

Windy & surprisingly warm… one last day of Spring-like weather in the low 60’s! The sky was amazing & colorful as I tried to soak in every moment… for tomorrow the temps are supposed to drop as the rain moves in. Kinda felt like a little “warm bonus” sunrise ride this morning!!!

While the lunar eclipse was happening to the west… we still had a pretty nice sunrise popping up to the east. It was chilly & VERY windy!!! So it was tough riding into the wind… while watching both left & right. The sunrise was coming up… getting ready to breach the horizon… chilly… windy… waves crashing all around…

… and then my camera battery died! ugh.

Another morning with crisp weather & clear skies. Barely a cloud in the sky along the lakefront. Perfect to kick-off another week of beautiful Fall weather! It was a bit chillier than I expected though… gotta up my game tomorrow with some warmer gloves!!!

One hour earlier as we “fall back” today… but still a stunning sky show with a fluffy blanket of clouds blowing through to cover the morning sky.

Panoramic perfection from this morning’s bike ride.

Big morning sunrises require big morning photos!

It was a stunning sunrise this morning as the clouds were splashed with color. Ever-changing with saturated colors pedaling along the lakefront… before the grayness of the day moved in.

Another warm morning with a bit of a breeze! Leaves were blowing around everywhere!!! I just hope they don’t all come off the trees today. I want these pretty Fall colors to hang on a lot longer!

Colorful clouds graced the skies this morning… gently blowing through the City. Warmer temps are headed our way. Looks like beautiful weather for today & through the weekend. Methinks this might be our favorite “Indian Summer” weekend?

Well THAT doesn’t sound too “politically correct” these days?… is there a new phrase for this gorgeous weather weekend that I haven’t heard of yet??? Or is this one still okay to use?
