Quiet moments

Nowadays there is so much haste everywhere. Lives are so crowded and days so busy and full. Smartphones have killed the arts of quiet contemplation and daydreaming. Go anywhere and people are looking at their phones-eager to stay engaged rather than letting their minds wander.
Here are two very recent photos of quiet moments.
Firstly Phoebe daydreaming at the door. Fortunately cats do not have smartphones and older cats in particular are very committed practicioners of the art of daydreaming.
Secondly a family taking time out to look at the fish and the pelican at The Entrance during last weekends Chromefest. Just a few metres away is the bustle of Chromefest.
