Years ago I used to watch CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt. (He wasn’t at my house watching it – he was the host.) I loved the show for its varied stories – long pieces, compared to sound bites on news programs. The show was always interesting, informative, sometimes fun, sometimes sad. There were reviews, done by that guy whose name I can’t think of at the moment – I loved his way with words, though…and then, for the last few minutes of the program, there was silence.
Well, an absence of human voices, which is about the same thing, in my opinion.
The camera would pan across a vast prairie, for instance, and all you would hear would be the rush of the wind…distant birds…the ssshhhhhhhhhh of leaves. Such a lovely, peaceful way to close a program.
I don’t have audio, so there are no sounds of nature for you…but here are some pictures from my gardens…and I’ll shut up now, too.
ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sunday morning is one of my favorite shows too. Your pictures were perfect here with the sounds of the Mourning Dove and Blue Jays, and the steady sound of my husband brushing paint onto the eaves of our house. Ommmmm.

I think the review guy was John Leonard, a fine writer and critic.
