Day 193 : Big Bend Lake

I recently discovered this lake near my home. Just three miles away, this lake is the best surprise that Chicago offered me. When it is a sunny day outside, I just walk or ride over to this lake and sit with cool breeze nudging my cheek and the feel of water under my feet. People around Des Plaines or Niles, can drive over here on a beautiful day and have a family picnic here. Here is the picture of the day:

Day 192 :Spread Your Wings

This lazy Mallard duck was standing on one foot when I started taking pictures. He spread his wing and foot to show this beautiful violet patch on its wing. Here is the picture of the day:

Day 190 : Fresh in the Sky

Like anything worthy in life, Spring is worth the wait. With fresh flowers in the sky and sweet fragrance around, no wonder Spring has been a symbol of peace and happiness in literature and arts. Here is the picture of the day:

There is a gazebo with a tree full of white flowers hanging over it, which looks like a roof of flowers. Here is the picture of the day:

Day 188 : Lilliput Jungle

As I rode through Des Plaines River Trail, I saw this little patch of green under the jungle roof. These little sprouts looked like little trees that stood in a Lilliput jungle. Here is the picture of the day:

Day 187 : Fishing

I have never understood how fishing could be enjoyable or relaxing. But when I saw this guy fishing in a lake, and carrying away a small pack of fish that he had caught with a look of accomplishment, I understood why people love fishing. Here is the picture of the day:
