noisy neighbours...

Just a thought.....

Following on from my previous post about the wonderful song of the nightingales, I was sitting outside last night and suddenly became acutely aware of the amazing volume of sound coming from the wildlife; the crickets, frogs and birds.  I was in awe at how incredibly loud it all was.  

Isn't it funny that we love and accept the sounds of nature outside, day and night, loud as you like, but, if our next-door neighbour was making just a small fraction of that noise, our first response would be indignancy (is that a word?), if not anger at their thoughtlessness?

It's all a question of perspective, maybe. 

And the fact that the natural world just sounds sweeter to our ears for some reason ......

All I know is I find it soothing, no matter the volume. 

Play on, crickets!
