Fall is only a day or so old but the birds have been gathering for the better part of a month now. It's the first sign for me that summer is coming to an end and my favorite time of the year is beginning. Hopefully, fall will last a long time - well, we know that won't happen but I can dream, can't I???
My friend came to visit the other day...her favorite color is orange so I think fall is her favorite time also. Right before she got here, I heard this tremendous noise - squawking to be more accurate. I looked out the window and the tree was alive with blackbirds and they were making their voices heard!

| Look at all the noisy birds!!! |
Otherwise, I love fall - the flutter of the falling leaves, pumpkins, farmer's markets and the crunch of acorns. Time to go for a drive and see the beautiful colors of the trees...
Take care,
Bonnie
Hey Bonnie, it is my favorate time of year too !! We are still so warm, I do not think our fall witll start for a while still.
ReplyDeleteWe get trees full of birds and I have found if I got outside and clap my hands, they will take off , DAvid finds this endlessly amusing , lol !! Now he has to do that everytime he sees them too !!
I remember that movie also and the big groups of birds remind me of that movie whenever I see the trees full , but then I go out and clap and they fly away !!
I hope your fall is here and ours follows soon !!

Hey Steph! I suppose your colors won't be so pretty this year without the moisture they need. I have been thinking good thoughts and sending prayers for rain for you and your farmers down there.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was painting stuff for the sale the other day, I would hear this big woosh sound only to look up and see great herds/flocks of birds flying up - weird sound - I guess I'm a little bit jumpy when I'm out in the wild countryside!!!
Have a great day - hope you get some relief from the heat and some rain!!!

I always makes me sad that fall is the shortest of all the seasons. But I love the the color and the smell. AND...I heard it is going to be very colorful because of the summer moisture. Awesome. Have a great day... see you in a couple of weeks.
