A bit warmer today, but also a LOT windier.
Crazy gusty winds along the lakefront… especially blowing between the building!!!
Plenty of clouds blowing through and changing very quickly this morning.
Plus some really great frozen walls near Montrose Harbor.

I was just getting ready to pedal home… thinking that there were too many clouds to have a good sunrise. But then… there was a parting in the clouds, and some of them started to change colors.

And then… out of nowhere, the clouds scattered and became little puff balls. Tons of them!!! All over the place. The blue sky was gorgeous with the contrasting white clouds.

Blue skies, puffy white clouds… and some wonderful tree silhouettes.

But then, as the sun continued to rise and go behind the clouds, the sky took on a more ominous tone. And made the lamp post appear as though it were still shining!!!

So I tried to pedal home… but the sky just kept getting better and better.
More clouds. More sunrise effects. More morning silhouettes.

More blue skies and glorious sunrise moment.

So glad I stuck it out in the blustery wind for a beautiful moment like this!

Sadly, it sounds like there’s no White Christmas in store for us this year.
On a good note… days start getting longer now!!!

It was a chilly morning bike ride, Red skies and some beautifully frosted leaves on the ground. Sadly, the frost won’t last long as the sun rises.

Well, the “big overnight snowstorm” didn’t leave much snow in my neck of the woods.
No snow on the streets. Whoo-hoo!!! Just a little frosting of snow to make it the perfect day

Today & tomorrow from 10:00am-6:00pm.

Clear & cold. The sky was clear of clouds, just crisp & orange.

The ground was cold, and the first real frost we’ve had by the Lake. The frost covered leaves are always beautiful to see… but I’m not quite ready to give in to the cold.

Windy. Cold. Dark.
Yet still splashin’ good fun along the lakefront… until you get wet.

The first signs of Winter snow fencing have appeared along the lakefront bike trail. It was dark ride this morning… and even “darker” knowing that the fencing will go up soon and cold Winter weather won’t be too far behind! Ugh.

Beautiful blue clouds with white clouds as I’m driving out to the suburbs today.
A precursor of the sunset to come…

Dark & windy. Moody. Huge clouds floating over the City. It was pretty cool how it was still dark out, but the clouds were illuminated by the lights of the City.

And then there was the North Avenue Beach Boathouse… take a quick look at that flag!!!

Cool enough… but then we also had incredible waves splashing over the shoreline.

Sure, the sunrise was pretty amazing… but the clouds themselves weren’t too shabby either!!!
