I’m trying to take a bath!

There is no privacy along the Chicago Riverwalk. This little house sparrow didn’t care, he was going to take his bath anyway.

One of my favorite photography spots along the Chicago Riverwalk is this fountain. The best part about it though is it’s a zero-depth fountain. Perfect for setting the camera at the edge or even in it (if you’re careful) to capture reflections of the surrounding area.

On this day, I was downtown with a group of photography friends who were in town visiting. We wandered along the riverwalk and hung out here for a few minutes watching this cute little guy.

I learned something new from Jason Edmunds and the Elwetritsch Queen.

This little panda looked familiar to me from davíð matthías.
