Yes, yes, nature's sounds are beautiful and delightful to the soul! Hi Wendy, I love the artwork...did a friend or relative do it, or did you perhaps, do it yourself?
Now that you are off Covid restrictions and you plan to do so many things outdoors...will you still have time for your other friends like me on Fan Story?
I hope the answer is yes and I will still reach out to you! Either way, I will always remember you and I have already made new friends on this site! So don't worry too much about how I get on I will keep in touch when I can!
Have a wonderful day,
Jesse

    Hi Jesse, firstly thank you very much for a super review. Greatly appreciated. No, I found this lovely art work on google, and really liked it. I felt it went well with my words.
    Of course I will still have plenty of time for my Fanstory friends, including you! I have made some lovely friends on this site, and I will keep up as much as I can, as I do enjoy both reading others' work and writing. I am also glad you have plenty of friends and support too. I sent you a message this morning, but it sounds like you haven't seen it yet? It's just that I won't have so many hours each day on the site as previously.
    I hope that all is well for you, and that you enjoy today (or tomorrow). Take care.

Yes, I agree with you. We spent much more time relating to each other and enjoying the outdoors when we were denied to ability to travel and socialize with others. Good luck in the contest.

Your picture is amazing and so perfect to pair with your contest entry, Wendy. I enjoyed reading it. Your one line reads smooth with emphasis on s alliteration. Your notes add more info. Together they make a great, and true, statement.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Brilliant one-liner! Elegant imagery and stunning alliteration--you nailed the title/subtitle--very clever allusion to the movie title song (the hills are alive with ... )

    Thank you so much for your super review, always much appreciated. I always regard the title as an important "hook", and I am glad you noticed my intention with it!

Sound of music

Wendy G
smiles to your one line. Yes wouldn't be nice to hear the sounds of music instead the sounds that drown out the pleasant sounds of the birds singing and to listen for a child's voices

LivIng as i do in the country, I am spared a lot of the noises town dwellers have to put up with. But the silence during the first lockdown was eerie and i was more conscious than ever of the natural sounds. Even nature seemed quieter then.

    Thank you so much for reviewing. Where I live is an outer suburb with a country feel, but there weren't even occasional planes flying over. But we have quite a few parks, so it was good to make new friends (at a distance) with people who had previously gone off to nearby towns or the city to work, but now took time out from working at home to enjoy being outside, seeing sunsets and clouds, hearing birds ...
    Thanks again.

Yes indeed, if one takes time to savour the joys of nature, particularly in the early morning or when the calm of twilight they will discover a world rich with senses alert to the beauty around us, such a privilege, well done, good luck Wendy, blessings Roy

It has been a breath of fresh air for many here in NZ too Wendy. All of our great walks have been hammered, huts filled to capacity as people rediscover the beauty of nature : ))

    Thank you so much Hitch. Yes, people have made time (or been given time) to get out into nature more, and enjoy it. Great review!
