Silence by olivetreeann

Silence

There are some things that make you appreciate silence more than others.
Oh - I really like this ... looks like it hasn't rung for a while. PERFECT for "Silence"!

What a great shot to say "silence!"

@beachradish Thank you Beachradish! You're right- it hasn't. It used to be the doorbell for the side door at my grandmother's house. I brought it home when the house was sold and hung it at the sliding door at the back of my house- but we don't use that as an entrance, so it hasn't rung in a LONG time!!
@espyetta Thank you MaryBeth! I am really struggling with this June Word challenge word list. It takes me days to figure out how I'm going to approach the shot- and then a few days more to figure out what to shoot!! I still don't know how I'm going to do "jaded" or "flamboyant"!

Love the bit of cobweb to create the mood of silence.
June 12th, 2012  
This REALLY fits the word challenge for "silence." And it's beautiful .... to know that it hung on your grandmother's house is priceless.

@allie912 Thank you Allison- I took the bell from several positions, but I liked this one best because of the spider web and the knot in the wood.
@karenann Thanks Karenann! Yes, it's a fun little keepsake.
@wenbow Thank you Wendy!
@groovygirlrn Thank you Sheri!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!

@digitalrn Oh yes, and our neighbor's barking dog!! Thanks Rick!
@sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry! There are some people who avoid silence at all costs. Not me- I like it most of the time!
@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!

I love silence - turn off the tv, turn off the music. Right now all I can hear is my fingers clicking on the keyboard and the clock on the wall. I have to say though that I love the sound of the rain.... and we have had lots of that lately. :)
Nice composition.
June 12th, 2012  
Silence is golden! :)
June 12th, 2012

I'm finding I appreciate silence more and more as I get older, this picture portrays the word in a very different way, fav!
June 12th, 2012

@summerfield Thank you Vikki!
@cortens I love the sound of rain too Julie- next best thing to silence (o: I know for some, silence is an unwelcome "sound" but there are times when I know I need it. And in those times of silence, God speaks His loudest without raising His voice.
@potsbypam lol Pam- yes at times it truly is!!
@tanja_1211 Thank you Tanja!
@salza Thank you Sally! This one's special because of where it came from but I would imagine and antique or collectible shop might have one lying around.
@louisefrance Thank you for the fav Louise! Yes, I've always liked silence, but I've grown to like it even more now.
@sarah19 Thank you Sarah! One of my favorite things about my little house is that it is located in a "quiet" neighborhood.
@tammy73 Thanks Tammy!
@filsie65 Thanks Phil!
@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole!

Excellent pic! Great idea of using black and white. Well done you!
June 12th, 2012  
Very clever idea for the word theme with the cobwebs draping the silent bell.
June 12th, 2012  
very nice pic Ann! another great B&W from you

@olivetreeann Ann if I do not have enough silence and alone time, I can get very unsettled and grumpy. In many ways, I am the opposite of my more extroverted friends who recharge by noise, people, and activities. Most of the time, people describe me as extroverted but I am not. I draw my strength from God and God speaks to me in the quiet of my heart.
June 13th, 2012  
Cool shot~ love the black and white.
June 13th, 2012  
@prttblues Thank you Bev! You are a great encourager.
@cimes1 Thank you Carole! Wandered around and took a bunch of objects for this word, but the moment I saw this and took it, I knew it was THE shot.
@woot Thank you Davide! I was really pleased with this one. I'm glad you like it.
@potsbypam Thank you Pam! You and I are two peas in a pod!
@sanera Thank you Samantha!

@olivetreeann nahhh... i just call it like I see it! YOU are an excellent photographer!
June 13th, 2012  
you just hit a homerun with this pic for that word! (what i have in my mind is me with a cross duct tape over my mouth! i just might do that, why don't i?)
June 13th, 2012  
@prttblues Oh Bev! (o: (o:
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! lol that would be a unique take on the word- why didn't I think of that! I even have this psycho orange duct tape that would be perfect! Go for it! (Just be careful people don't get the wrong idea and report you!!)
June 13th, 2012  
Beautiful....
