The Nature of Puget Sound (Please read description!)

And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go."
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone,"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling.
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
La, la (la, la)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la (la, la)
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Puget Sound as all the waters south of three entrances from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The main entrance at Admiralty Inlet is defined as a line between Point Wilson on the Olympic Peninsula, and Point Partridge on Whidbey Island. The second entrance is at Deception Pass along a line from West Point on Whidbey Island, to Deception Island, then to Rosario Head on Fidalgo Island. The third entrance is at the south end of the Swinomish Channel, which connects Skagit Bay and Padilla Bay.

Milford Sound on an unusually beautiful and calm day - Fiordland National Park, New Zealand

Doubtful sound in Southland on the Tasman sea, New Zealand, gets its name from Captain Cooke in 1770 as he was uncertain if was suitable for navigation (he named it doubtful harbour and was later renamed to doubtful sound). It however a fjord rather than a sound.

Certainly was ringing out over the canyonlands of Utah as taken from the end of Dead Horse Point. Electricity was in the air ...
Of course the coast has spectacular sunsets, the sun dipping down into the sound is likely a sight I wont soon forget. I knew I wanted a good sunset, though when I had originally considered the idea I had wanted to do a sunset at one of the lighthouses. Those plans fell apart, so I headed back to Corolla, and wandered down towards the docks.. There was a bit of a party taking place there, so I meandered my way around to get out of the way, and here we have it. A lovely shot into Currituck Sound, gentle reflections, clouds rolling through the sky, the long exposure hiding some of the people.

A very nice Flickr Friend mentioned the song Sounds of Silence on one of my photos and then of course this marvelous song goes through my head each time I am in the same modus I was at the time he mentioned it 😋
We do get influenced upon words, but it's my own choice if I allow it deeper in.
How cool isn't that.
Welcome Sounds of Silence 🙏
The sound of bluebirds approaching the yard is a joyful sound indeed.
Lady and Mr. B seem to be getting serious about checking out the nest box. They are going in it and out of it often throughout the day. One will perch on top while the other one goes inside. The one that goes in, flies out to oak three and the other one goes inside. In addition, they are visiting the yard together on occasion without the other two males. This activity has me checking the nest cam daily for a piece of moss or a stick.
Former bluebirds always placed a single item in the box and checked on it several times daily before building a nest. That's when you know they are really serious. Once they are satisfied that the box is safe, nest building happens rather quickly.
May I say thank you in advance for the faves, comments and visits. I have somehow injured my wrist and typing is difficult at the moment.
I hope your day is filled with beautiful sights, sounds and true joy. Happy snapping.

Sounds of Silence
Disturbed
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light, I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

Milford Sound is a fiord in the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island. It’s known for towering Mitre Peak, plus rainforests and waterfalls like Stirling and Bowen falls, which plummet down its sheer sides. The fiord is home to fur seal colonies, penguins and dolphins. Milford Discovery Centre and Underwater Observatory offers views of rare black coral and other marine life. Boat tours are a popular way to explore.
Pequeño viaje en esta zona para conocer el fiordo y el mar de Tasmania, viendo de pasada las paredes de roca marcadas por el glaciar y las cataratas que descienden hacia el mar.
El exuberante bosque nativo se aferra a los escarpados acantilados, mientras que animales como focas, pingüinos y delfines son visitantes regulares en estas aguas heladas.
Milford Sound es una de las zonas más lluviosas del planeta.
