A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play |
After a wonderful string of beautiful sunrises, we knew that it had come to an end at some point. But maybe not quite yet today. While today was another hot & steamy ride, the beautiful colors were fleeting… stunning at first, then pastoral & serene… before the gray clouds moved and the sunrise was blocked and back then to gray… and still SWEATY!!!
With a sky full of clouds splashed with colors… a big sky-show requires BIG PHOTOS!!!
This has been quite the week for beautiful sunrises!!! Today started out with a lot of clouds blocking the horizon. But luckily they blew through soon enough to make way for a colorful sky-show! Beautifully painted clouds… yet all too soon another wave of clouds moved in… this time darker, wider and ready to rain!!! Pedaling home faster than I expected!!!
And then the dark rain cl0uds started moving in… and I still had eight miles to pedal home!!!
Another warm morning. Another sweaty ride. Another beautiful sunrise.
You could tell by how warm it was so early in the morning, that today was going to be another scorcher. Already so hot & humid!
Woke up this morning and it was raining…. so no bike ride…
and therefore no sunrise! Luckily there was one yesterday that was pretty nice!
It was a warm start to the day… already a bit steamy very early in the morning.
I could feel it as soon as I stepped out the door.
Glad I got an early start before the temps soared into the high 90’s today!
So glad the yesterday’s crazy heat wave has subsided, and that this morning
we were back to BEAUTIFUL!!! Basically clear skies, a gently breeze, colorful horizon
with a gorgeous day on tap.
Oh yeah… and something odd going on near Fullerton beach with all the major TV news crews there this morning… and what looked like a capsized boat of some sort?! Seemed kind of small for all that commotion?
Not much in the way of a sunrise this morning…
it was more about that one huge cloud that blocked it out early today!
Dramatic cloud-cover with a simple green reflection.
Another beautiful morning along the lake. Lots of foggy humidity and sun-dappled clouds along the horizon. As the tough days continue, it only takes a few moments of sunrise beauty to take my mind off the family matters at hand.
When the sky is splashed with BIG colors…
sometimes a BIG photo is required to capture it… or two?!!!
