And oh, but wait there’s more!!! When I made it downtown, there was this crazy-cool blanket of morning fog shrouding the lakefront area. Another wonderful sunrise bike ride… framed by fog!

And when there’s a big sky show…we need a big panoramic picture to capture it in all its glory!

What started out with a lot of clouds… turned into a fantastic sky show of color! Another warm morning for a sweaty sunrise ride.

After a beautifully sunny weekend at the art fair, it was great to get back out on my bike this morning… although I was a little surprised by the amount of clouds that must have blown in overnight?!

Lots of clouds with a little potential. When I first started out it seemed like the sunrise might just be on the “wrong side” of the clouds. And I wasn’t confident it would find its way through that little window of sky. But it did… but only for a fleeting moment.

Beautiful clouds hanging out along the lakefront this morning.
A bit of a chill & a bit of a breeze…. but more than a bit of BEAUTIFUL!!!

After spending all day inside firing the soda kiln yesterday, it felt great to get outside this morning for another sunrise bike ride! Chilly, but great!!!

Drama in the skies! Some wonderful clouds blowing through the City this morning. A bit of a headwind for the first half… before I did a quick turn-around as it started to drizzle a little down by Ohio Street Beach. I know I won’t “melt” in a little drizzle… but you never know if it’s going to turn into a sudden Spring deluge! The clouds were coming in quick… so I pedaled home a little quicker!

Brief moments of sunrise spectacle this morning… just before the colors dissipated and the clouds took over for the rest of the day. It was a cloudy ride for the most part… but these colors were a FANTASTIC way to kick it off!

Another clear morning bike ride… not a cloud in the sky!!! Just some bright colors & quiet reflections along the way. Still a bit chillier than I would like, but they’re predicting a warm-up over the next few days… finally!
