Venkatesh Kittur, A Pause in the Canopy (NATURE WILDERNESS 2025)

In the quiet heart of a dense forest, an Eastern Yellow Robin rests on a branch cloaked in algae and time. Its vivid yellow chest glows against soft grey wings, and with a gentle tilt of its head, it gazes upward — alert, curious, and utterly at peace. Every detail, from the glint in its eye to the delicate curve of its beak, speaks of nature’s quiet elegance.
