Ah, lovely Lincoln Park Zoo. This is one of my absolute favorite spots to have a great walk with wonderful scenery. I also love the juxtaposition of the calm and serene path while in the distance the City of Chicago looms large. You can see the John Hancock Building standing tall amongst the other downtown structures. If one were to travel, “as the crow flies” it would appear the path leads directly to, “Big John” as it is affectionately called by Chicagoans. I must say when I took this photo it literally seemed like a picture-perfect day. Why, I didn’t notice until later that day I had even captured a cyclist on the path; I was so focused on the, ‘bigger picture’. Hhhhmm, a metaphor in there, perhaps?
Did you get snow? We got snow. But this amazing photo reminds us…the snow has got to go, sometime. 🙂
Thanks Cher and hope your day is wonderful. 🙂
Big hugs, Donna xo
Hi dear Donna! No snow in CHItown thank goodness! *LOL* Ah, I’m sorry you got snow. So a lamb here and a lion there! Don’t you worry, I’m sending Spring up there tout suite! Well, truth be told, I needed a Spring pick-me-up so that’s why I posted this photo today! *LOL* And I hope yours is wonderful too, Donna! Thanks so much! Big hugs, Cher xo
.. And then I let out ALL the animals and we shall have jumanji!! 😀😀
*all paws clink* Yeay, Andy!! ;-P Cher xo
😄😄💃🎉
Hee hee!!
I’m hopeful that we will see green again. Today…another cloudy day.
Me too! I think I needed to post that picture today to remind me of what green actually looks like! Cher xo
Lovely photograph! It’s nice to see so much green. 🙂
Thank you! Yes, I think it was time to bring some green inspiration to light! Now if we can just get dear Mother Nature to do her magic! Cher xo
I too have happy memories about this park, as we had a lovely walk there with my daughter, my son-in-law and his parents.
I was actually wondering if you had visited this park, Hilary! It’s lovely all year, but especially when the weather is mild. Cher xo
I love this image of Chicago! Love to take photos in Chicago DT. 🙂
Thank you, Amy! There is so much to take photos of, isn’t there! Did you happen to see my post last week of downtown on Michigan Avenue? I love the area near the Michigan Avenue Bridge! Cher xo
I agree! You have taken much better photos of this grand city than I did. 🙂
Oh my dear, not a chance! You are a photographer, and I’m the extreme other end of the spectrum! I do try though, and it’s fun learning! Cher xo
Thank you for your compliment, made me smile. 🙂 After viewing your awesome shots, I feel like to fly to Chicago with my camera, now. 🙂 xo
Amy, I bet you would capture the essence of this fine city in a spectacular way! Cher xo
Great photo! Looks like a peaceful retreat from the busy city.
Thank you, Becky! Oh yes, it really is peaceful, and such a lovely escape from the busy city, as you noted! I just love it there! Cher xo
Reblogged this on georgeforfun.
Hold up! Your trees have leaves there????? Ours are still sticks 🙁 A park I walked past but never went into. Must amend that!
This was last year, Teri! We still have sticks, too!! *grin* Cher xo
Phew! I was getting ready to fire off a very stern letter to Mother Nature about getting her act together 😉
*LOL* Teri! And you’d have every right, that’s for sure! *Please turn the sticks into leaf-waving branches soon, Mother Nature* Thank you! 😉 Cher xo
Yes! Please and thank you. We are all going nutz from the lack of true Springness!
I hear you! I needed to post this photo today to remind us that Spring does exist *okay, not here or in Ohio YET but you know*! Soon! 😉
