Almost Winter in Chicago by taffy

Almost Winter in Chicago

Taken at the Lincoln Park Zoo on the 12th before I was asked to leave by the security guard (because it was closed for a private party). This is the same scene as I took earlier this fall ( http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-10-06). The past few days I've re-taken a few of the shots I'd taken at other times of the year to capture the changing season. I'd been inspired by shots of trees and other scenes that I'd seen over four seasons. Since I hadn't planned that from the beginning, I thought I'd start with a favorite area in the city.
Thank you for your wonderful comments and birthday wishes yesterday! Heading out tomorrow morning for the semester break (Hawaii -- yay!) for some work and some fun. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to comment as I've committed to limiting my time on 365 to an hour a day. I know everyone is busy -- hoping we all have a great holiday season in the run up to -- for many -- our last 16 days til we complete Year 1.
Lovely shot!
