Lots of clouds on a warm & muggy Thursday morning. After yesterday’s rains, it felt great to get back out on the bike for another sunrise bike ride along the lakefront.

You know, some mornings the sun & clouds don’t quite work together. A few too many low-lying clouds, not quite enough sun. Not quite the spectacular sunrise I’m always looking forward to. Just kind of blah… but still better than a sharp stick in the eye, right?!

Another serene sunrise to start off the day. With quiet reflections in the harbor, Ferris fun, silhouette spokes & a quick visit to the Goldstar Families Memorial & Park.

An early Saturday morning sunrise.
A bit cloudy… but still a perfect start to a perfect weather day!

And a big sky show always deserves a big morning photo… or two!!!

One big cloud obscuring the sun. Sure, the sun tried.. and tried…
but never quite made the big sunrise break-through.
Good for the dramatic sky show though.

No better way to start the holiday than sunrise at probably the most patriotic place in Chicago… Navy Pier. Great views of the City, the Lake and their majestic line-up of flags. Perfect for the day. Happy Fourth!!!

Big sky drama even better with big sky photos!

Another dramatic morning as clouds rolled across the sunrise sky.. with a full range of colors ever-changing as the sunrise progressed.

And let me just gloat for one second… I LOVE THIS NEXT SHOT…

Wonderful bike ride to kick-off July…
hard to believe it’s already here! Picture perfect for a palindrome day!
