As I walked through the snowy forest, I spotted a bright European robin perched atop a candy cane. The orangy red of the bird's breast matched the red stripes on the peppermint stick, making for a striking contrast against the white snow.
The robin seemed completely unafraid of me, and even tilted its head to the side as I approached, as if to get a better look at me. I stood still and watched the bird for a few moments, marveling at its beauty and the unexpected sight of it sitting on a candy cane.
After a moment, the robin spread its wings and took flight, leaving the candy cane behind. I continued on my walk, feeling grateful for the unexpected encounter with such a delightful creature.
