Silence

July 11, 2009 by chrisseascorner

It almost slipped my mind today to post my Round Robin photo, even though I’ve been excited to play all week. I’m on vacation and haven’t been home in three years and it’s been terrific. My three sisters and I had “Sister Night” last night. We went to a great Irish Pub in Quincy and danced and sipped beer while listening to a live band. It certainly wasn’t Silent and I managed to spend most of today recuperating. The older you are, the harder that seems to be! That being said, the Round Robin challenge this week was to post a photo of something that signified Silence.

I took my Silence photo at the beach the other day. Although I can hear the waves crashing on the surf and it’s not perfect silence, it is silent and serenity to my ears, especially at sunset with not a soul around.

Note: I just added a page to my blog of my cross-stitches. Its up top in the tabs and says “Crosssitch Passion” if you’d like to check out another form of artistry.

Lovely photos! Truly reminiscent of silence. A nice contrast to all of the fun you were having, too, although that is great to experience.

Mmmm, it’s been entirely too long since I’ve been near any body of water larger than a mud puddle. Those pics make me nostalgic. Silence doesn’t have to be void of sound, according to my personal definition; merely conducive to rest, contemplation.

I hadn’t realized it had been 3 years. I took some of those exact same shots recently. I came the long way round today, via Canada!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pics of the theme.

Indeed, Silence is a frame of mind, all these best to your summer.

Beautiful photos. I like them all, but something about the third shot that draws me in.

Thank you for your kind comment on my photo. 🙂
