High Desert voices can be heard throughout Central Oregon if you just pause and listen.
Bold shouts of the many
Quiet whispers of the few
Raucous calls of the many
Soft bugling of the few
Rising chorus of the many
Descending notes of the few

Thanks for the great photos.
You're welcome, Ralph! Just got back from the Summer Lake area.
What a beautiful place!
Yes, it certainly is! Thanks.
This is a really beautiful post Siobhan - I love the way you characterized each of your images as voices - perfect. Especially loved your crane image.
Thank you, Tina! That field had a lot of white-faced ibises and a couple cranes. It was full of iris and camas.
So, so beautiful!
Thank you, Marilize!
So, so beautiful. Thank you for this great post!
Thank you, Sofia!
Lovely. I especially like the crane and bitterroot.
Thanks, Sherry! Yes, I liked those two as well.
A beautiful post - I love the notion of the desert voices :) And that Bitterroot blossom is stunning!
Thanks, Sarah! The bitterroot flowers are tiny but gorgeous.
I hadn't got a sense of the scale from your image. The flower looks so lovely on its own against the soil!
🙂
Great selections.
Thank you, John!
A very lovely entry, Siobhan - the opener and the last one really got me. Beautiful photography.
