“It was a quiet afternoon and I went out to photograph snowflakes. I sat down on the trail just near a puddle of melted snow when suddenly a group of American Robins came up to me out of curiosity. They stayed with me for a while, dipping their little heads in and out of the water while I sat in awe.”
