I love the Chicago skyline. All of the geometry, lines and perspective against the seemingly never ending lake is so beautiful. This view never gets old!

I was downtown the other day and decided to take some city photos. I saw this reflection in one of the skyscrapers and loved how it looked like a broken up portrait of downtown Chicago!

Ever see a common loon take off? A loon needs a long “runway” of water to take off, typically requiring at least 30 yards and sometimes up to a quarter of a mile, depending on the wind. They achieve this by flapping their wings and running across the surface of the water to gain enough speed for lift-off. It’s quite fun to witness!

This adolescent bald eagle is a beautiful bird. I had a lot of fun watching and photographing its movements. I don’t think it can fly yet but I think it is getting close.
