If there's a buzzing-noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee.

the geraniums were really buzzing today with at least 40 to 50 assorted bees!!

"It's my final stage, my ego drives me crazy
You doesn't hear, so my years was wasted
Now I see my sacrifice and I'll kick you in the ass
But now it's time for me to take my revenge
No one could expect it, 'cause they thought that I am...
Too good to be bad, too good to be bad"
His arms were still lifted up, hands near his ears trying to control the thickness of the memories in his head. Click here for the rest of the short story and credits
Strange and unusual sounds abound at the San Louis National Wildlife Refuge. Have a look and listen at www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Bittern/sounds .
Bones crackled underneath your feet with each step, each noise echoed endlessly. His scrutinizing eyes narrowed as you approached, clearly unimpressed.
“What took so long? Hurry up. They are waiting you’re already la-“
“Boo! Kahahaha.. “
“-te…Get lost, cat.”
“No need to look startled, love. Most everyone’s mad here..”

Yesterday I saw you three times in three different places, calling to me. And so I knew you were now ready for your love letter and picture! You are such a beautiful bird living in the pine forests of western America. I’ve known you for decades and admired you, but you know what? This is the first time I’ve ever photographed you!
Since I don’t have enough lens power to find you in the dark forest, I made an exception for you and came with a food offering to the picnic tables in the park. With giddy anticipation, I laid out a collection of unsalted peanuts on multiple tables. Within less than 60 seconds, the first party guests arrived, two crows, and they made some noise to let others know. I was hoping word would reach you as well – and so it did! Soon I spotted you high up in a tree, waiting in the background while the two crows sampled the goods. They spent a great deal of time trying to fit two and even three peanuts at once into their beaks before flying off. Did you see that? It made me laugh.
Once the crows had begun to feel satisfied, you astutely calculated the exact timing for your own visits to be immediately following beak-filled crow departures. My, what a hippety-hoppety character you are, skipping and hopping all over the place! Your jaunty crest gives you a very smart look, and you move quicker than Bruce Lee! I’m terribly happy that you presented yourself to be part of my project, and I adore you!
Be the true blue hopper in the pines!

Make a noise so I know you're there
Just a touch is enough for me my dear

“How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn't they paralyze us? How is it we can survive them, at least for a little while? We drive a car, we teach a class. How is it no one sees how deeply afraid we were, last night, this morning? Is it something we all hide from each other, by mutual consent? Or do we share the same secret without knowing it? Wear the same disguise?”
― Don DeLillo, White Noise

I'm aware I haven't been down to see a sunset for ages, probably as we seem to be stuck in a grey misty spell of weather with no sun and no rain. I'm off to Bristol today, to meet someone and possibly spot some buildings to sketch. Ocean of noise is by Arcade Fire , I need to visit that ocean of noise again soon

I have lost my perfect hearing.
My whole life I have enjoyed exceptionally acute hearing in both volume and frequency range. Sadly, since my one infection during the last 5 years that I believe to be Covid, I suffered ongoing random occurrences of vertigo that would last for just 24 hours at a time. Immediately after one of those vertigo attacks a few months ago I awoke with sudden onset screaming tinnitus that has been with me ever since. Overnight I lost a lot of hearing range in the upper frequencies too. From hearing clearly up to 21khz to my hearing now falling off from 6khz and above. My audiologist confirmed that, anecdotally, there has been a massive increase in cases of tinnitus in people following Covid infections. It is and has never been 'just a cold'.
It saddens me so much that I can now no longer enjoy perfect peace and quiet.
I have other symptoms commonly found in 'Long Covid' too. I did so well to avoid infection only to get ill early last year.
Thank you all for your support, comments and favourites. They are all greatly appreciated.
Take care.
These 4-inch grasshoppers are too large and toxic for most natural predators, so they don’t need to move fast. If for any reason, you fail to heed the color warning and pick it up, the grasshopper makes a loud hissing noise and secretes an irritating foul-smelling foamy spray. Lubbers cannot fly far, and travel in short clumsy hops, or walk and crawl slowly through the vegetation. They feed on broadleaf plants and can become a nuisance when swarms invade residential areas and feast on garden plants.

Welcome to New York! You can only wonder who decides what’s necessary noise and what isn’t, can’t you? Which in turn raises the question of subjectivity and objectivity... and who’s to decide that?
An interesting philosophical debate, no doubt. But meanwhile, my simple mind was quite amused by the street sign, which I spotted in Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village – so here it is.
when i lived over 7th avenue in nyc i had rubber-lined curtains to block out the sound of local fire engines and the ongoing traffic. i probably tried a white noise machine too, i can't remember. anyway, my barn pictures are starting to put me to sleep. mid-winter somnambulating. too bad it doesn't work when i actually want to go to sleep.
"Nur wer für die Juden schreit, darf gregorianisch singen" - only those crying out for the Jews are entitled to sing Gregorian chant. This was Dietrich Bonhoeffer's reaction to the burning of the synagogues in 1938. The withdrawal into a non-political space is not appropriate. Today, we must shout on behalf of suffering Ukraine.
