Chittering Beeches


I love the sight and sound of beech leaves trembling and swirling on their petioles as I walk through the woods. Listen to them in my video in the link below (turn up the volume to hear them over the breeze):





Curled beech leaves tremble,

Chittering and scritching

In spring's light breezes.



What does it sound like?

Lazily burning embers,

Or trickling water?



The disturbing sound

Of snacks in a cinema?

What do the birds hear?

One of my favorite sounds.....I made a video once of sleety snow falling on beech leaves....it was purely harmonious.

Captured perfectly!

Ooh, goody. Glad it wasn't overpowered by the wind.

Haikus and beech sounds. Musical.

Hope it doesn't make you too, too homesick, Shelley. I hope it salves your hunger instead.
