OAITW r.2.0

The quietest early evening I can remember. [View all]

Very strange. In spite of what looks like weather in my immediate vicinity (pic above).....absolute and complete quietness (a couple of crows just made their presence known).. No wind at all. No noise. No birds or squirrels in the feeder. Zippo.

I got a theory about this.

When the winds don't move at all. wildlife comes to a standstill.

In my area, at least, when all the wildlife goes quiet, it's usually indicative of rough weather coming in. mwmisses4289 Tuesday #4
