Yesterday I captured my first decent images of a wren and it was in full birdsong. So beautiful to see quite close up too
Pagoda at Crescent Moon Spring Singing Sand Dunes.The Singing Sand Dunes in Dunhuang, China, are the sand dunes that, when the wind blows, give out a singing or drumming sound[. They are part of the Kumtag Desert.
Saw this Male Reedbunting singing his heart out earlier in the year in the beautiful afternoon light.

A little spontaneous song. Sorry about the poor quality video, but it's really about the music.
The barker is Bozo. This summer he often began the chorus by barking deeply 2 or three times, the other sledders would then follow with their howls and songs. Bozo can howl and it's very deep and mournful as well.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES; THANK YOU FOR VIEWING, FAVING AND COMMENTING MY DIGITAL OBSERVATIONS.
The Tibetan singing bowl is a type of bell and the vibrations produce a sound that can help focus meditation. They can also be played in concert and bowls of various sizes create wonderful harmonies.
In Tibetan Buddhism the singing bowls are especially important in healing rituals. Certainly the vibrations produced by the sound can relax the body and induce certain mental states. Some Western practitioners call this "sound therapy".

The musician John Cage (1912-1992), himself a Buddhist, was influenced by this instrument in his minimalistic music forms. Here is a fine example of how they can be used. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsoN_IWQ1Ac
A harmonious world where nature and music intertwine. The moonlit night, the gathering of animals, and the orchestra in the forest set a magical ambiance.

I’ve always been fascinated by sand dunes, even before I heard them sing.
It had been too long since I’d made a Death Valley trip, so I got in the car early Saturday morning and arrived at Stovepipe Wells at about 2pm. That gave me a few hours of daylight to photograph the Mesquite Flat Dunes. I camped at Furnace Creek that night and headed back to the dunes before dawn on Sunday. A few other photographers were wandering around at sunrise, but just afterwards they left and I had the entire dune field to myself.
Usually nature makes a lot of noise, but when the wind died down that morning it was totally, completely silent. I could literally hear my own heart beating. And something else, too – barely audible, faint enough that I wondered if I was imagining it, a low hum. What was that? A long time ago I read the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and I vaguely remembered it saying something about sand dunes making noise, but maybe that was just part of the story. And yet if I concentrated I could really hear, and almost feel, a buzz in the air – similar to the sound you hear near a power station.
Back home, thinking maybe I’d just imagined it, I typed “sand dunes buzzing sound” into Google and the first result was a great National Geographic article, Why Sand Dunes Go Boom. If you ever have a field of sand dunes all to yourself, stop for a minute and listen closely...
The Luray Singing Tower, officially known as the Belle Brown Northcott Memorial, was erected in 1937 in memory of Colonel T.C. Northcott’s wife.
At 117 feet in height the Luray Singing Tower contains a carillon of 47 bells. The largest bell weighs 7,640 pounds and is six feet in diameter. The smallest weighs a mere 12 1/2 pounds.
I visited late one Sabbath afternoon when the sun was slanting down across the horizon. It's such a peaceful place to be and has a small walking path all around the pond. They hold recitals here every weekend through Oct, but I haven't managed to drag Anita there yet. I have heard them before and they are Amazing! :) Heading to Roanoke VA and church today. Have a blessed Sabbath everyone!

www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Song_Sparrow/overview
A rich, russet-and-gray bird with bold streaks down its white chest, the Song Sparrow is one of the most familiar North American sparrows. Don’t let the bewildering variety of regional differences this bird shows across North America deter you: it’s one of the first species you should suspect if you see a streaky sparrow in an open, shrubby, or wet area. If it perches on a low shrub, leans back, and sings a stuttering, clattering song, so much the better.
Like many other songbirds, the male Song Sparrow uses its song to attract mates as well as defend its territory. Laboratory studies have shown that the female Song Sparrow is attracted not just to the song itself, but to how well it reflects the ability of the male to learn. Males that used more learned components in their songs and that better matched their song tutors (the adult bird they learned their songs from) were preferred.

It's an older image, so feel free to remove. I waited and waited to catch one of these guys with his mouth open this week, but it seems with the winter weather, no one is in the singing mood!)

The Cross Timbers oaks are ringing with the songs of these little flying rainbows. The songs are used to entice a female to mate and to warn other males to stay away. Spring is truly the season of renewal. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
