Colorful calico clouds crossed the sky this morning. We went through a couple different colors as the sun came up, and eventually decided to hang out behind the clouds! Dark & moody… pastoral pastels… vibrant colors… golden hues… and then just CLOUDS!!!

Another quiet morning along the lakefront.
Not a lot of clouds… but the few we had did a wonderful job of making a sunrise splash of color!!!

Barely a cloud in the sky… just a cool breeze blowing in off the lake along with the waves. A beautifully quiet start to another week.

Uh oh… well THAT doesn’t look so good…

What a difference a day makes…
barely a cloud in the sky after yesterday’s cloud-cover.

Dark calico colored clouds this morning made for a dramatic bike ride. Still warm & humid without much a breeze. I will say I kinda had low expectations for today’s sunrise… but I was proven wrong. It turned out to be STUNNING!!!… especially after a long run of cloud-free mornings!

Roll out the lazy, hazy, crazy days of Summer! A bit of early morning haze on the horizon… that luckily burned off soon enough to reveal a beautiful orange sunrise as the heat wave continues today!

Quiet & still. Warm & humid. Clear skies…
except for that one cloud to play with. So subtle. So serene. So beautiful.

Another beautiful bike ride along the lakefront. With a few waves rolling in, and a few cool cloud formations wafting through. We had several good “moments” along the way… a couple great photo moments!!!

A dramatic morning sunrise to celebrate the last day of June! Crazy cool clouds, colors & reflections… and that one big cloud right there in the wrong place at the right time to block the sun!!!

Hard to believe we’re already going into July and a holiday weekend, right?! Seems like it was just March the last time I checked.
