Resume Work after Long Holiday

This morning appears to be colourful after a long waited rain last night. Yes, this is the same spot at my front yard I capture sun rise as I did in 10-Feb, but just a slight different angle. After having a whole week long Chinese New Year holiday, this is the first day I back on work.
