The contemplative robin

While we were waiting for the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds to fly over, Tim got some great shots of a robin who was happy to pose. I, on the other hand, had the wrong lens on my camera.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Tribute to first responders over DC, posted earlier:

Considering the meaning of life in the time of the virus. Perhaps the robin has some answers I'm missing.

Let Tim know that I like his tack sharp image of the robin. The robins have just returned to where we live, a true sign that spring is here, V
