We live close to the gorgeous Lincoln Park zoo, and to make it even better...it is free!
It is so nice to just walk down the street and enter this amazing place. Even if you didn't stop to look at the animals you could just get lost in the lush environment. It is soooo green with loads of flowers.
It is seriously huge and gorgeous, and totally exceeds all your expectations when you first hear it is a free zoo. It is so worth visiting, and lucky for us, we get to quite often!
Here are few snapshots I took while we roamed around last Saturday morning!
Please note that I only use a wide angle lens...this is how close you can get to the gorillas...He was sitting right next to the glass picking his nose (for reals). I've never seen that large of an animal that close...it was insane!

You always have the most beautiful flower pictures!
We visited the Lincoln park zoo back in April and loved it. How lucky that you live so close. And It's fabulous that It's free!
I don't know how I came across your blog but I wanted to reach out and say these photos are beautiful! I live in Chicago too...wait until Christmas for Zoo Lights!
Really? The zoo is free? The zoos around here are SO EXPENSIVE, but I still really enjoy going to take pictures and just walk around. I love the pictures of the gorilla.
look at all those flamingos!!!
that gorilla picture is insaaaane! love it! and the fact that you get to go for free kills me. i should probably write salt lake's hogle zoo and tell them to adopt the idea.
Such great pictures! Wish I was there. I need to plan another trip!
beautiful as always, stacey! i especially love the last shot of the butterfly. amazing capture, and such clarity!
omg, the gorilla's hand shot.. it's so awesome! I love it. and the close up of the pink flower. I wish I could use film! :(
Gorgeous!
I am going commenting crazy, sorry! a)if you live in Lincoln Park that means you are close to Dunlays on Clark and that means you can go get the fried egg sammy. b) i cant believe how close you can get to the animals! we just took our niece and nephew to the zoo and we were so far away from everything and a lot of the time the kids couldnt even find the animal :( c) your pics are beautiful!
