May Stepping strolling the morning sounds on a late-in-spring day whoo-hooting whoosh tch-tch-tch-tch-tch whoosh tch-tch-tch-tch=tch whoo-hooting, whoo-hooting it’s the quietness that reveals bird calls sprinkler beats as the spray rotates its half-circle trail Saturday most everyone still within, may perhaps abed yet, I find the cool and the early morning silence that has no silence at all if one knows how to listen ©Virginia Salter May 30, 2015 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Oh my goodness yes within silence there are things to be heard. Really enjoyed this early morning nature walk, Virginia. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

And would you believe it was down my sidewalk here in town. However, there is a seldom used park right across the street, so it stay pretty beautiful. Those were the sprinklers that were going and I barely heard them. The tch-tch-tch-tch was to catch the image of the water as hit hit the trees during its cycle. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

A beautiful reflection, Virginia. Early may mornings are always special here. Cool, and usually clear, and everything in nature coming alive.  Michael |

Thanks, Michael and Devina. And now, we have 90º outside, the mornings are to savor. Devina, the highlighting you did, not only did you bless me with your kind words, but you helped me spot a typo. I left the "s" off of "knows;" now I've fixed it.  Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

May in spring - my favorite season, a walk in the woods so invigorating. But it's almost June, and why was May so hot this week. Thanks for posting this piece - such a breath of cool fresh air. |
