Gulliver, our loyal balcony friend, photographed in the first snow of the 2023-2024 winter season.

While he and his partner have been living on the chimneys in our street for years, our balcony only become their favorite hangout spot this winter. In fact, the day I took this picture was the first time he hung out at our balcony.
