First Junco Means Winter Is Coming!
Back to birds this week here at the ole bird blog…well, one bird at least. Yesterday I was looking out the window, and there, down on the ground, was this lone junco! Happy little bird, don’t you think? Anyways, we love juncos because they are a sign that winter will soon be here…and winter always brings the hope of…SNOW!
But for now, we’re happily enjoying the beauty of fall here in central North Carolina. This is from one of the nearby streets in our town. Really some gorgeous colors outside at the moment!
I love the trees that go bright, flaming orange like this one…wow!
And how ’bout some fun family pics…what happens when you play peak-a-boo and eat bananas at the same time? Perhaps something like this picture below. Well, we’re just guessing or being hypothetical here, of course.
I’ll leave you today with this shot of everyone except yours truly holding the camera. It’s from a quick little weekend trip down to our favorite beach earlier this month…Emerald Isle, NC. Great spot to visit if you like calm, quiet, peaceful beaches. Have a great weekend! Dave

I don’t think Juncos come here, Dave… At least I have never seen one here. However, I saw some last week at Maggie Valley and I’ve seen them in Arkansas (last winter). Wish we had them here. OR maybe –they just aren’t visiting me!!!
Great picture of the baby —and of the family.
Hugs to all,
Betsy
Such a wonderful, cute family!!!
Your leaves are gorgeous, I miss our color, which is all done now.
And we have had Juncos here now for about three weeks…! One snowfall that stayed for a day and melted, so I feel your pain of the winter coming. ha
You certainly do have wonderful fall colors..peeking at you! Great shots of all those gorgeous trees..so glad those juncos have found you…wouldn’t want you to miss out on all that snow!! lol!
Love the banana beard..great fam shot!
I really liked all the pictures of Mt. Rainier, the bird, and me and my brother! Love, Older Son
You have such a gift with photography, and I love your writing, especially about the Creator! Love, Mrs. Dave :)
Hi Dave,
It was time for the winter to come to you… It has been here for over a month and a half… Cute family you do have ;-)
