Peekaboo #brookfieldzoo #orangutan #zooanimals

I am especially fond of Brookfield's orangutans #brookfieldzoo #zooanimals #orangutan

One of the aforementioned Brookfield guinea fowl. Fun fact: unlike peacocks and most other birds, the males and females look nearly identical and are most easily distinguished by their calls. #brookfieldzoo #bird #zooanimals

Wow! Quite an experience -- thanks for sharing!

Well that sounds like a story!

One of the peacocks that amble around the grounds at the Brookfield Zoo. (They also have wandering guinea fowl.) #brookfieldzoo #bird #peacock #zooanimals

Visited Lincoln Park Zoo a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised to see a new exhibit in the bird house featuring a pair of kingfishers! #chicago #lincolnparkzoo #bird #kingfisher

Thank you!

I like how it's difficult to tell the scale of these shots. This is a fairly small patch of icy water, but I can imagine it as a view out your airplane window. #chicago #winter #abstractphotography #blackandwhitephotography

Captured some more interesting ice patterns this morning at Wooded Island, Jackson Park #chicago #jacksonparkchicago #abstractphotography #blackandwhitephotography

And another, why not. #chicago #southloopchicago #cityscape #urbanphotography

Back in Chicago, the ice is finally melting #chicago #cityscape #lakemichigan #blackandwhitephotography

A portion of Grand Prismatic Spring -- it's so large you can't fit it all in one shot from ground level #yellowstone #landscapephotography

The chilly morning air amplifies the steam produced by the thermal pools and vents #yellowstone #landscapephotography #blackandwhitephotography
