EyeEm Custom Shoots Q4 2018
Timing is everything. If I tried to take this shot a million times I would never be able to duplicate the position of the sun in her tires. She was moving very quickly when I took this shot.
A white sulphur butterfly on a purple wildflower in the meadow at Montrose Beach.
A group of semi palmated sandpipers migrating along the Chicago lakefront that landed in the biggest and best migrant trap in the area.
A pair of bonapartes gulls in the dunes at Montrose.  These are handsome gulls that are smaller than ring billed gulls and somewhat unusual in Chicago. I wish they had the black head of the breeding bonapartes but these appear to be young ones that are in their first year.

It’s an old hotel. It needs a quality paint job and new carpets in the hallways among many other things. But the lake view rooms makes up for a lot of what’s missing.
