Just a little warm & steamy this morning… and I don’t think I’ve stopped sweating yet, even after my shower?! But it was well worth it with a beautiful sunrise to start another sweaty day!

Not a lot of clouds, but a good amount of hazy colors.
Shimmering reflections on perfectly still water. A very serene morning on my bike.

Layers of clouds. Layers of colors. Layers of places for the sun to hide behind. Another beautiful morning for a bike ride along the lakefront.

A lot of clouds this morning… enough that I was questioning if were even going to see the sun at all this morning? And we did… flying low & showing off in crazy colors! But only for a few minutes… and then back behind the clouds!

Another quiet morning without a lot of sunrise drama.
Just a few simple clouds floating quietly along the horizon.

With gently breezes blowing in off the lake, the clouds were spotty
& catching the colors nicely as the sun continued to rise

Quiet waters & shimmering reflections… that’s how I’m gonna sum it up today.

The weather forecast for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR seems to be “beautiful & partly cloudy”… which also worked great for this morning’s sunrise bike ride. I love when there are some good clouds for the sun to play with. Changing the colors & layers throughout the morning. Making the ride a little tougher than it needs to be… as I just “need” to stop more often to capture the ever-changing sunrise effects!!! … oh shucks.

Dramatic clouds flying low on the horizon this morning.
The water was perfectly still… which also gave us some incredible reflections!
Another beautiful sunrise bike ride.

And now to get to the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR to finish setting up!!!
Stop by today & tomorrow from 11:00am-5:00pm!

Early morning glow with clear skies all around.
Quiet & serene, with just a bit of a chill in the air.
A beautiful start to the day!!!
