Some Beautiful Flora and Fauna to Brighten Your Day
The incredible natural environment in which Chicago sits is one of the favorite things about my adopted hometown. And North Pond, located in Lincoln Park just a few blocks from Lake Michigan and a bit more than a mile from our apartment, is a place I go to immerse myself in that natural beauty.
North Pond is officially designated as a bird sanctuary, but I've often joked that it is also a Bob sanctuary. My camera and I have made so many visits that I was honored with a year-long exhibit of my photography at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, located adjacent to the pond.
The pond is close to Green City Market's Lincoln Park flagship location, so if you're out buying delicious food and supporting local farmers, take a little side trip. In these troubling times, it's important to seek beauty and peace.
I hope these photos from a visit on the past Sunday (August 31) brighten your day. According to an old saying, a picture is worth 1,000 words, so here's 19,000 worth.
