Reminds me of the saying that if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?
A vibration unheard but felt – is that sound?
A delightful surprise in the pond 😉

I based it on someone’s write up about going on a walk to check up on stories that opening lotus buds could be heard popping open…the write-up was done in such a way that you couldn’t know for sure…it’s not hard to imagine a sound… whether detectable by our ear drums or not 😉 I tried repeatedly to insert the link but it wouldn’t take perhaps because it was on a Facebook page. I landed there through google so perhaps you might find it too …

It’s probably the seeds that pop once the plant has stopped flowering! Loved the humour here.
