Back for a New Year’s meal

The neighborhood sparrows were back in our crape myrtle again to take advantage of all the seed heads left on the tree.

I’d like to wish all my Pbase friends a happy and healthy 2022!

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