Krish, such a serene picture that contrasts with the frenetic pace of the day before Christmas. Love the wagging feather tails of the robins! I can just see them! Congratulations. Sending you all the best for the new year and blessings.

Thanks Milton! I like the way you have put it! That’s what makes a scene interesting- there is more than what the eye can see!:)
