Calm & cool this morning along the Lake.
Oddly refreshing to see the shoreline along Ohio Street Beach again
as the water has finally receded a bit.

Another gorgeous day along the lakefront this morning. So glad the waves have calmed down… and yesterday’s rain has stopped. Back to BEAUTIFUL!!! Like a sweeping oil painting!

Raining this morning… but luckily it was a gorgeous morning yesterday as we all started early down at Monroe Harbor for the start of the Chicago Triathlon. The sky was amazing… but the waves were crazy! So bad, that they cancelled the swim all together… and instead turned it into a Duathlon… run-bike-run! Better safe than sorry… at least we got a wonderful sunrise show as the Chicago Fire Department was there to show off super-neato water-spraying boat!!!

And an IRONIC “no swimming” sign on a Triathlon morning with NO SWIMMING!!!

And an early morning “attempt” at a sunrise selfie for me & Tracy!

Cool & breezy this morning… but so much fun with the waves crashing in all over the place! Okay, so sure… not quite so safe, but if you’re smart it’s okay… and quite entertaining to watch those who aren’t!!!

Clear skies & clear sailing. Not a cloud in the sky this morning.
A little warm. A little humid. But still a LOT of fun!

It was a warm & humid morning. Lots of clouds gently breezing across the sky…
and reflecting in the calm, rippled water. I loved then the reflections looked a bit
like a clouded sunrise Rorschach image!

And not to end on a dreary & cloudy note…
here’s a more impressive sunrise from Friday morning down on Navy Pier.
Beautiful clouds, colors & silhouettes down on The Pier.

Woke up this morning to lightning, thunder & rain… oh my!
So no sunrise ride this morning. But I figure it’s a good chance to share a cloudy morning ride from last Thursday. Kinda what I envisioned as I rolled over to go back to sleep!
