C’mon now… perfectly STUNNING sunrise moments along the lakefront this morning!!!
Why would you want to stay in bed???

And then sometimes a big morning sky show requires an even bigger panoramic photo!!!

After weeks of freezing temperatures & frozen-slippery roads, it felt great to get out this morning for a beautiful sunrise bike ride. Sure, it may still be January, but the morning was a bit warmer & the sky-show was FANTASTIC!!! Well worth the layers that I had to put on before pedaling off!

A beautiful start to the day…

After what seems like “weeks” of cold gray skies… it was great to finally see the sun this morning! A welcome sight as we come to the end of the year. Nothing overly dramatic in terms of sunrises, but definitely rejuvenating to see sun once again!

Started my morning early at church.
This is as close as I like to get… let’s not get crazy!

Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day… The colors were pretty glorious this morning & the temps a few degrees warmer than the last week. It felt great to have a beautiful bike ride with a beautiful sunrise this morning… with one less layer than usual!

Cold & breezy with some layered colors this morning.
I was hoping for a sunrise “breakthrough”… but it kinda faded into grayness.

Oh well… maybe tomorrow?

And while it was cloudy & gray before the sunrise, it was fun to find another flag that someone has placed at the end of a pier out by the lighthouse. Dark & gloomy… with a splash of piece, love & TIE-DYE!!!

Such an amazing way to start the day. Pastel colors blowing through the city as the waves came crashing in. A chilly start… but now I’m ready for Thanksgiving at my sister’s place for PIE!!!
