Not a cloud in the sky. Just clear sailing…errr, pedaling…
with a chilly breeze early on.

Another hazy-foggy start with the marine layer delaying the sun’s appearance. Well worth the wait… as a big red ball appeared, and then “bounced” on reflected ripples.

Another day with a hazy start. The low-flying marine layer delaying the day with a pastel glow. Eventually the sun burned its way through making some nice reflections around Montrose Harbor.

Dark start to a pastel morning. With a bit of marine layer haze, the sunrise was slow & slightly hidden… but great for early morning reflections in the calm water. The sun eventually worked its way through the low horizon haze, but the quiet pastoral vibe remained.

Clear skies. Not a cloud in the sky.
Another beautiful start to the day.

Crisp & clear & breezy with just a few clouds in the sky. Definitely feels like Fall. Even though it’s “technically” still Summer… at least for a couple more days!

One of the challenges of catching splashy photos on a windy morning is that the “mist” keeps hitting the camera lens! So you pretty much need to dry the lens after every shot… or every crashing wave. It gets a little tiresome… but if you don’t wipe it off, you get THIS!!!

Which now that I look at it… this isn’t too shabby either?!!
Hard to mess up a beautiful sunrise, huh?!

It was SO good to see colorful sunrise clouds again… and the crashing waves didn’t hurt any either! It was a big sky morning… which required a big sky photo!!!

Though we’re still in the last few days of Summer, this morning definitely felt like a crisp Fall day! I even had to pull out the long sleeves & gloves!!! But it was well worth it… another fun bike ride with a LOT of stuff going on along the lakefront. Lots of clouds. Lots of wind. LOTS of waves!!! Not to mention the amazing colors!!!

Dark & cloudy with waves crashing all around. It seemed like the “smoky-haze” has mostly moved on… only to be replaced with a chilling wind & dark gloomy clouds! Tough pedaling this morning as the wind seemed to be coming at me from every direction!
