juncos dot the ground
I love the little juncos – bold beyond their size.
Yes they are! We have been snowless until now, the juncos hadn’t been around until the storm.
Perfect in B & W – a snow day is a good day!
There is a bit of color in this, Barb. It was just a black and white day.
It’s amazing how the garden sleeps below and how it will return in a few months, all renewed. I love the juncos – their coloring is so soft and always reminds me of a winter palette and they are so happy hopping about in the snow. Gorgeous, evocative shot, Sandy.
I just realized that this photo reminds me of a junco!
nice
Thanks! This old garden stand gets in about half of my photos.
It’s good to see it is snowing. Our snow is supposed to start Sunday and then I will be putting extra food out for the Juncos and the others.
They were not around at all until the snow came. I have seen them in the woods with the chickadees and titmice, though.
Finally snow…it’s in our forecast for Monday. I guess we’ll see.
I will be waiting for snow photos on Monday.
A wonderful capture of your snow day through photo and words!
I love the juncos!
Me, too, Margie. They are second to the chickadees.
Lovely photo, and I like the black and white.(Still, the snow isn’t for me)!
And you, a true Mainer! I think you will end up a snowbird.
so charming, I gasped
I think this is my first snow haiku this year, but am not sure. It is the first about the winter process.
A very nice post, Sandy. Never heard of a juncos before so had to look it up. Now I know that it’s a sparrow.
One of the prettiest ones, for sure.
lovely image!

Thanks! I think I almost enjoy the garden as much in the winter.
Just lovely!
Thanks, Fiona. I am betting you don’t have juncos there. Am I right?
Lovely.
And very apt we are due for really cold weather here.

Guy, I think our mild winter is over, too.
I can imagine that there was a hush and stillness in the air as well, your photo is so evocative. Although the birds create movement, of course.
I was planning to look up juncos, but see from Frank’s comment that they are sparrows.I wonder why they remained hidden until now?
This is a wonderful photo and poem, Sandy.
Brenda
Do look them up, Brenda. They are in the sparrow family, bu have a different look. The colors in this shot match them.
I think there has been enough food available until now.
do i ever love this haiku, sandy
It is good to catch up with your photos and poems, sandy! I love how you’ve captured the snow and the colours in this one. I can picture the juncos, too! Are you finding the spring birds have returned early?
