I visit the Lily Pond several times each week. It’s what recharges my batteries. Sometimes I just sit and watch birds or look at plants; sometimes I sketch, sometimes I crochet. Speaking of crocheting in that area, earlier this spring a red winged black bird switched from warning me to stay away from his nest to trying to steal some yarn. It was a lot of fun.

Hi Pam, I’m so glad you got to see, and posted about the Lily Pool. It was lovely to see it through your eyes.
We got there late in our visit to Lincoln Park, and didn’t have nearly enough time to explore there. I hope to be back there sometime in July to see it again. I grew up not far from there, and it was a mess back then. It was a joy to see it, even for a little while, looking so wonderful!

I’m so glad you wrote about that. I didn’t make it over there, so I wouldn’t have missed it entirely.~~Dee

A quiet contemplating place for sure. Very pretty.

Pam, your pictures make me wish Jean, Leslie and I had been able to find that pond. I’m adding it to the list of things I must see on a return visit to Chicago!

And what a lovely oasis it is! It’s been nice reading about the 2009 SF and to look at all those lovely pics you took. But next time, take more. ;-) It almost made me feel like I was taking part as well.

I like the lily pond project a lot. It looks comfortable in its place in the landscape, like it’s been there for centuries.

These are beautiful pictures! I’m bummed that I was pressed for time by that part of the day of SF, but I hope I will get another chance to see it soon!

Makes me want to hop on a plane to Chicago again this summer!
