Our weather this week has been cold, but sunny. Wednesday was too pretty a day to stay home, so we drove over to Bay Springs Lake on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. We walked along the shore for awhile, but the wind was too strong to stay outside for very long.
We saw a large mixed flock of American Coots and Ringed-necked Ducks. They are migratory birds that we see here only in the Winter,
The grayish birds with black heads are American Coots; the dark birds with white breasts and sides are Ring-necked Ducks.
2. Autumn Color

Most of our Autumn leaves, like these from a Ginkgo tree, are on the ground now.

But we still have evergreen trees with colorful berries. I think this is some type of Holly.
If anyone can identify it for sure, please let me know.

I was surprised to see windows and doors installed on a building before the walls were built.

There was still a bud on my pink Rose when our night-time temperatures dipped below freezing on Sunday night.

I cut the bud and brought it inside to coax it to open. It has a very pleasant fragrance.
