It was so nice to get up this morning and NOT have gray & gloomy skies! So refreshing to see clear skies again… knowing that a beautiful sunrise would not be far behind!!!

Beautiful sunrise ride this morning. A bit on the chilly side when the winds came blowing through the buildings from the west. Not a lot of clouds to play with this morning, but the sun found it’s way to glory anyway!

Colorful & chilly… with a chance of frozen puddles!
It was a bit colder than I expected this morning… good & bad. Good to see some cool frozen bushes covered with icicles. Bad to see ICE already… I am so not ready for this!!! Had to be more careful of “puddles” along the trail… now slippery ice puddles!

And oh, by the way… “Dear Santa, I need much warmer gloves!!!”

Big sky. Big colors. Big photo… BIG FUN!

Another beautiful morning… this time with a few low-flying clouds for the sun to splash some color upon! Beautiful colors to kick-off another beautiful day!

After days of gray & gloomy, it was SO nice to see the sunrise this morning! Not a cloud in the sky… just a chill in the air. Below freezing when I started… stay warm & toasty in bed?… or go out to see this natural beauty?

Once again, the sunrise won out… just put on more layers!

No sunrise this morning. I thought at first there may be a chance… but the dark clouds won out. A dark & moody morning… trying hard not to notice the little bits of frozen rain hitting me a little here & there!

Gusty winds seemingly from all directions this morning?!
It was CRAZY!!!

But crazy fun… I even laughed out loud a couple times.
Feeling like you’re going to be blown over…
or stopped in your tracks with a strong headwind!
So funny… but this sunrise made it all worthwhile!!!

Clear skies with a chilly start to the day. Not a lot of clouds… just a subtle breeze. A simple start to a Saturday morning along the beach.

Big sky. Big clouds. Big colors… all need a big photo!!!
