Photo of the Day
a robin in snow in Halland, Sweden
February 12, 2016
Winter Flight
A little snowfall didn’t deter this robin from taking to the sky, nor did it stop Your Shot member Tommy Eliasson from stepping into his garden in Halland, Sweden, to capture this image. Eliasson was able to set his camera up and snap a series of photos before the bird flew on.
