Yes I do! I would imagine most people try to take in all the nature around them when they get some quiet time outdoors. True you might hear the sounds of "civilization" in the distance, but that's okay if it's not overwhelming.Stop and pause and listen to the early morning sounds that you might hear as the daylight is just beginning to chase the dark night away? I went out this morning just as day was breaking to enjoy the cool air here on the NC coast, such a refreshing morning coolness after all the hot and humid weather we have been having for a long time now.
I stopped to listen to nature's sounds this morning and to see how many birds I could identify as they were waking up from their roosting hours. I heard a Brown Thrasher first of all welcoming the daylight with the unmistakable call they make. Then a Redbird began chirping, a few Blue Jays chimed in with their loud calls and off in the distance 2 Great Horned Owls were hooting at each other way back in the Croatan Nation Forest. The Owls were just saying good nite to the other creatures of the woods. I could also clearly hear the sounds made by cars and trucks as the daily traffic began to build up on highway 24 just down the street from us.
Towards the East a very bright morning star was saying good nite as the daylight will quickly cause it to fade away, I think that was the north star which is the planet Venus. So many things to pause and enjoy in the early mornings each day if one will just stop, look around and listen to the beautiful sounds of nature as another day approaches. It kinda takes a bit of the modern day world off my mind as I do so.
But then I hear the traffic again out on highway 24.
