Thanks, Rob, for your eloquent words. We are blessed to live where we have silence quite often--the sounds around us are the sounds of birdsong, the tapping of a woodpecker, a squirrel scolding. And it does give us the space to ponder what we have heard and read.
What I noticed in Australia was the numbers and wide variety of birds--it seemed that everywhere we were awakened by birds of some kind. I hope that the wildlife was not totally wiped out by your harsh season of bush fires. And we join you in rejoicing that the fire season is almost at an end. Thanks for sharing your beautiful part of the world with those of us who were fortunate to be in Marysville!
