In a silent scene, filtered light illuminates deserted dwellings
Gentle ripples trail an American Avocet quietly striding across a wetland
Skeletal trees remain standing silently after a raging wildfire
A pronghorn doe pauses while pondering a peaceful valley ahead
In a silent scene, the joyous dances of cranes are forever frozen in time

What lovely creatures you discovered. These are beautiful photos – I especially love the pose of that Avocet!
Thanks! Yeah, I really liked how the Avocet picture turned, too. 🙂
Beautifully said and shown Siobhan. I know the cranes are statues but still the scene is my favorite.
Thank you, Tina! The landscaping at the Portland Japanese Garden, Oregon is beautiful from every angle. 🙂
Siobhan, these examples are touching and tranquil. You showed us the beauty of silence in your work.
Thanks, Egidio! Great prompt.
Beautiful photos Siobhan. My favourite is the Avocet
Thanks, Brian! This was a good prompt for that Avocet photo.
Excellent. 👏👏
Thank you, John!
I can feel the quiet.
Thanks! I thought of you when I posted the pronghorn photo since you love them as well. 😁
A perfect theme for you, as so many of your photos speak of silence, all of these included 🙂 I love the Avocet and Pronghorn shots in particular!
Yes, Sarah, I like showing quiet, peaceful places and wildlife. Glad you liked my animal photos this week. 😁
What a wonderful setting in that last shot!
Yes, it's really pretty in the fall, when I visited. I need to revisit it at other times of the year.
I just saw where your last one was taken, gorgeous setting. I also loved your first one, I could get the sense of scale and silence, beautiful.
Thanks, Sofia! Glad you got to visit the Japanese Garden.
Beautiful, Siobhan - loved the birds, all of them, the non-real ones as well. Such a beautiful and quiet garden.
Thank you, Ann-Christine! It was difficult to choose which photos to use for that prompt. Glad you liked the ones I posted!
