Continuing in this week’s string of beautiful sunrises… today started off with an AMAZING one! Great colors, layered clouds and warm temperatures made it a pretty darn amazing morning!

Sure, it was a bit cloudy… but it sure felt GREAT to be up this morning and have it already feel WARM!!! No need for layers, or jackets, or sleeves!!! Feels like Summer might actually get here?! Finally. Now if we could just get away from the rain???

It’s been a tough couple days, but a few miles on my bike made things feel a little more
“normal” this morning. And with a sunrise like this… the day started out
BETTER THAN NORMAL!!!

Clear skies. Clear sailing… with a bit of a breeze...
cruising along the bike trail this morning felt GREAT!!!

Big sunrise sky-shows require big sunrise photos!!!
And this morning had one of them!!!

With a surprising start to a surprisingly nice day, it was good to see that sliver of sunrise color coming through before the sun went away behind the clouds. The forecast wasn’t so good for this weekend… but it looks like we’re off to a good start… with another BEAUTIFUL sunrise!!!

Yesterday morning was gray & dreary…
with a lot of misty fog hanging low along the lake. It wasn’t raining…
but I was SOAKED by the time I got home from my morning bike ride!

And yes, somewhere back there in the fog “should be” the Chicago Skyline!!!

Along with some overflowing lake edges… the water level should be about a foot below the cement edge.

Breezy, but beautiful. Another wonderful bike ride along the lakefront…
with some beaches that are still flooded, and the lifeguard chairs back in place
for the summer season!

Another cloudy morning bike ride without much chance for that beautiful sunrise…
but wait… there’s a small gap in the clouds… almost… almost…
and THERE IT IS!!!… and then it’s gone!

Another cloudy morning with a bit of a wind coming in from the west.
Watching flags fly as the sunrise tries its best to make it through the clouds
at the east end of Navy Pier.
