Quiet Walkabout

Quiet Walkabout

Quiet Walkabout  Last night’s walkabout was eerily quiet.  It was dead calm; no wind sound, no sound of tree leaves rustling.  Also, the usual insect sounds like cicadas were silent.  Birds normally singing or cheeping were silent.  Fewer kids were outside playing.  Fewer people walking their dogs.  Perhaps, it’s just a coincidence that the eclipse happened earlier in the day; perhaps not.  Tonight’s walkabout was really noisy by contrast, but really, just back to normal.
