In ancient China extremely large pagodas became popular. At each corner small wind bells were hung; the slightest breeze would swing the clapper and cause a melodious tinkling. It is said that these bells were originally intended to frighten away not only birds but also any lurking evil spirits. Wind bells are not limited to pagodas. They are also hung under the corners of roofs of temples, palaces and homes.
Wind chimes are thought to be good luck in parts of Asia and are used in Feng Shui.

On the left is the bell which announces the right edge and on the right, the spring winder which drives the carriage.

Take a photo where camera movement creates an interesting effect
Setting the camera to a high numbered f/stop and thus slower shutter speeds, panning the camera past my wind chimes. This plays on reality since its usually the chimes that move...

These chimes hang on my verandah. They actually have three layers of bell and they tinkle beautifully in the breeze and not too loudly in the wind!
I came across these chimes, hanging from a tree along Dublin's Grand Canal near Baggot Street Bridge. They were part of a larger shrine or memorial - but to whom? It appeared to be dedicated to the memory of an unnamed child, perhaps lost by drowning in the canal.....and I wondered if the sound of those little bells was reminiscent of the child's laughter.
The first day of spring is here and the maple trees are blooming.
Though spring is right on time, I could not resist this part of Henry Van Dyke's poem, Late Spring.
Ah, who will tell me, in these leaden days,
Why the sweet Spring delays,
And where she hides, -- the dear desire
Of every heart that longs
For bloom, and fragrance, and the ruby fire
Of maple-buds along the misty hills,
And that immortal call which fills
The waiting wood with songs?
