Another mild day for mid-December as the clouds blew in from the west this morning with a bit of damp-chill in the air. Clear skies quickly gave way to clouded grayness… luckily, the sun got to peek through for a few minutes!!!

Okay, so this morning was too gray, damp & ugly…
but yesterday’s sunrise was AMAZING!!!

It started out cloudy without much chance for a good sunrise. But all so gradually
the clouds moved out just enough to create a SPECTACULAR SKY SHOW!!!
Great colors, great clouds… and a great precursor to yesterday’s
Mud & Metal Holiday Home Show!

Another chilly bike ride with wind chills down into the single digits this morning. Good thing I have layers!!… and apparently lots of planes headed towards O’Hare?!

And a matter of FOCUS… spokes or sunrise???

Okay, so it was a little colder than I expected. And maybe I didn’t have the right gloves on… and perhaps my fingers were freezing?! Regardless, the morning was quite crisp & clear as a low layer of clouds blocked the morning sun. And I was too sweaty & chilled to sit there and wait for the sun to make it over the clouds… sorry…. brrrr…

Well it’s December, and we’re still enjoying some pretty darn nice weather. Another beautiful sunrise bike ride. Clear skies, calm water, incredible reflections… including some beautiful Christmas lights sparkling in Belmont Harbor.

Early morning sunrise silhouette.

Okay, so they can’t all be perfection. Gray skies this morning with a lot of clouds blowing through. But then again… still pretty amazing with big clouds in all the right places!!!

After several days of dramatic clouded sunrises, I guess it was finally time for a simple, back-to-basics, clear sky morning!

Sunday and it’s Funday!
It’s the last day of the week, and they saved the best for last.
Another amazing sunrise bike ride to finish out the week!
