Can You Hear the Waves?

The waves in SoWal have a nice roar to them this morning. It is warmer and good south wind. If you go out this morning with a cup of coffee, can you hear them? I've often wondered how far inland one could hear the waves if dang sprinklers or other distracting noise isn't happening.

Yes, those pesky frogs can be quite loud in the summer. I missed them when I was in Alaska. It is so quiet there. No snakes. No frogs. The Gulf of Alaska does have waves, though. I just stepped out. We only have a mild wave roar going on tonight. Cold.

The cold seems to help. When it's really hot and muggy they are harder to hear.

Then, quick pick up your shellphone and listen. This morning, from my back porch swing, couldn't hear too much wave action. The waves on the lake and gulf looked like wrinkled blue velvet. However, the waves on the horizon on the gulf resembled a short, smoky blue mountain range. Now, as evening approaches and sunset is about an hour away, the waves from my vantage point have just a nice, calm, slow swoosh.
