An Alpine Chough with an alpine flower that I dedicate to our poetic Alok and Renu! o:) I'm not sure it looks poetic but at least looks sweet, I think! ;)

Your kindness for looking and leaving such lovely words in this image has been like a tonic in these hard times at work I'm having, amigos, I have no enough words of gratitude for you all!!! :bounce: But sad that Alok and Renu didn't see it, sniff, :-C!!!

And Doc Duck, can you see the crumbs in its bill? Chocolate biscuits from the turists... that's what it was interested in eating! ;) Wise birds! :-O

Cheers everybody!!! B :)
