After a long week of glazing, wadding & rushing to get everything done and in the soda kiln… let alone the recent wildfire haze situation …it felt great to get out today for a leisurely sunrise ride again. Oh, how I’ve missed a beautiful sunrise!

clouded start to what looks like a warm & sweaty day to come!

As the clouds moved in… it was a rather windy & cold morning. Enough so that I even pulled out my heated gloves… thankfully!!! A beautiful sunrise before the clouds seemingly took over. My guess is cloudy gray for the rest of the day!

Another sunrise… another morning along the lakefront.
Always the best way to start the day!

… but worth it.

A sweet Sunday sunrise. A little chilly, but a promising sunrise to start the day.
Looking forward to another beautiful Spring day.

A warm morning with nothing but beautifully rippled reflections along the lakefront.
An AMAZING way to start the day!

Clear skies, warm breezes & calm water… what could be better?!
Oh yeah, maybe a great sunrise reflection at the end???

Clear skies with a chilled breeze coming in off the lake. Luckily, that big low-flying cloud mass that was moving up from the south didn’t quite make it in time to overtake the sunrise… I was waiting for it... as it kept creeping closer & closer…

Beautiful clear skies except for a layer of clouds hanging low on the horizon. The temps were surprisingly warm & humid… totally feels like a nice Spring day. Although the clouds will be moving in later with a prediction of rain for this evening. But I’ll take it… a beautiful start and then some of those proverbial “Spring Showers.” And you know what those bring?!!!!
