Pause that refreshes

I complain when it’s hot and humid in summer and when it’s bitterly cold in winter, but those warm days sound pretty good right about now as it’s back down to the 20s this weekend. Looks like this starling was happy to be able to cool off.

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

Looking for a way in, posted earlier:

This is a really good capture. All of those water drops above the bird must be refreshing. The bird looks like it is pleased.
