Hello everyone,

Yesterday, I decided to indulge in one of my favorite pastimes: go out with a couple of my sons to take photos. Venturing out into the vibrant city of Chicago, I found myself immersed in a playground of photographic opportunities. Chicago is a treasure trove for photographers, boasting magnificent architecture, world-class museums, and the serene beauty of its lakefront.

On this excursion, I found myself drawn to the Montrose Harbor Bird Sanctuary, eager to capture the elegance of raptors in flight. Despite my anticipation, luck wasn't on my side, and I didn't encounter any of these majestic birds. As I unpacked my gear, I realized with a pang of regret that I had left my teleconverter—a vital tool for extending my lens capabilities—at home.

Nevertheless, the day wasn't without its rewards. Despite the absence of raptors and the limitations of my equipment, I reveled in the simple joy of being behind the lens. Each click of the shutter brought a sense of fulfillment, reminding me of the intrinsic pleasure found in pursuing one's passions.
In the grand scheme of things, the success of a photographic outing isn't solely measured by the images captured, but by the experiences gained and the memories made along the way. And in that regard, yesterday was a resounding success. As I reflect on the day with a contented smile, I'm reminded once again of the importance of embracing the things that bring us joy.

Cheers,

Ignacio

Great selection! That's a healthy, but not too far walk, from where I live. Thanks for the reminder to plan my own visit.
