Saturday Snapshot: Chicago Lakefront
Chicago Lakefront taken from Navy Pier looking south. (Click for sharper image.)
No more snowy pictures. I saw a lone robin in my yard yesterday, a sure sign that spring is near. Once robins leave their winter flocks they begin scouting for nesting sites. I like to think that was what he was doing and not just stopping by because I have a heated, ice-free bird bath!

Ah this picture really sells Chicago for me
Ah, Chicago’s skyline is every bit as gorgeous as any I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s the water, but I never get tired of seeing it. Thanks for sharing.
Here’s my SATURDAY SNAPSHOT
The Chicago skyline is captured beautifully here. Lovely photo, Leslie!
Hi!
It’s beautiful! I’ve never been there but would love to visit. Hoping I see a robin before long, I’m tired of winter. Have a great day!

I wish I was there! Of course, there’s a seagull in the picture!
Yeah, I had to choose the frame that caught the bird, I couldn’t resist.
Great picture, Leslie. I’ve only been to Chicago once, but I really liked it, especially the lakefront. I’m happy to hear about the robin, too. Mine are still in their flocks. We are going to have temps in the mid-30s for the next few days, which is much better than the low to mid-20s. Perhaps spring will eventually come to New England, too. I have some hope left.
I am probably biased, but I think we have one of the most beautiful lakefronts. And the shore is all beaches and parks, no commercial buildings. A little history… we have a court ruling that says the lakefront will remain forever open, clear and free.
nice shot love that the seagull is in there too
I’ve never been to Chicago, but this picture makes it look beautiful. I love that there’s a bird in the photo.
That is a lovely shoreline picture! Love the seagull in it.

Cityscapes are so cool. It’s fun guessing a city by its skyline.
This is a beautiful picture.
Love the contrast between the buildings and the water.
Someday, it will be more than the airport on my stop in Chicago. Very pretty!
What a wonderful shot of Chicago!! Love that city!! I think we are all weary and impatient for Spring
Beautiful shot! I love Chicago
