On my way to Drury Lane in Oakbrook for an evening of theater
I got a little pre-show sunset. Sure, maybe it’s not so safe to be taking pictures while driving…
but c’mon… look at that sky!!! Amazing.

After a long weekend in Minnesota, I was kinda ready to be headed home. Sure the Pottery Tour was great… and my time with my cousins & kids was too much fun!!! But seriously, all good things must come to an end… and my wallet is pretty empty too. Luckily, the weather was great for my drive home. At least until I got back into Illinois when the clouds started to take over… as the big storm was heading in.

More clouds… with a nice sunrise squeaking in just under the wire.
Gotta love taking pictures out of a moving car while driving. Sure, not too safe, but…

My afternoon flight took me back to Dover, Delaware
for more “glitter gig” planning meetings. But this evening took me for a run…
and a beautiful sunset over Dover Downs International Speedway.

It also took me out to find another GeoCache while I was outside playing!!! When I was here last year for the Firefly Music Festival, I searched a couple times for this one. Always discouraged by  the huge amounts of poison ivy crawling all over where I thought it would be. But this time, it’s earlier in the season and the poison ivy is much less obtrusive. So I pushed forward and found it!!! Another one off the list…

A beautiful end to a beautiful Spring day.
And we deserve it… now let’s just hope it stays for awhile!

Here’s a beautiful shot from Marco Island, Florida from my cousin David.
He’s “suffered through” so many of my biking sunrise photos…
that he felt obligated to share a sunset from Spring Break with his family!!!!

And I loved it so much… that I felt “obligated” to share it with you!

Sunset reflections at Midway Airport with just enough time to get to Lillstreet
in time to teach my Tuesday night class. Whew!

Beautiful flight at sunset… and an even better nap for the first 3/4 of the flight!!!

Sure, it may be freezing cold outside… but the sunset was pretty impressive tonight from inside! I was working at the “glitter gig” and saw this happening outside the window. It was fun to watch the colors change from the warmth of inside. Sure, I wish those crazy phone lines weren’t in the picture… but sometimes that’s the price you pay for living & working in the city.

Luckily for me, and my morning bike rides… the sunrise view is unobstructed over the Lake.
No power lines in my morning sunrise!

Double-whammy…
My bike wheels are in the shop being realigned.
And I’m working everyday this week at Navy Pier setting up Winter WonderFest
so I don’t have as much time in the morning for my sunrise bike ride.
Doesn’t mean I need to miss the sunrise though…

Sunrise today over Lake Michigan on my way to Navy Pier on Lake Shore Drive.

Sunset today looking back at the Chicago skyline as I was leaving Navy Pier.

Beautiful… both coming AND going!

Enough said.
