I needed a break from life so I took a walk at Charleston Falls. First I hiked through Octagon Prairie. Grasshoppers hopped across my path, too fast for me to catch them with my camera. I saw an Orange Sulphur Butterfly. It was too fast to catch, too. Then I noticed the sounds. They were not too fast to catch... insects in a loud chorus of varied musical notes and the breeze adding intermittent swirls reminding me of violins.
When I walked into the woods, the insect chorus was not as loud but then I heard the clatter and plop of walnuts as the breeze blew them down through the crispy leaves of the trees. They hit the ground with loud thuds. I was glad none fell on my head.
The stream above the falls flowed along quietly.
There was just enough water flowing over the falls to tickle the ears with a swishing sound accented by splashes as the water hit the rocks below.
I love the sound of water too, so relaxing! Hi to Tom! :)
