              I like 'serendipity' too.

              'Swoon' has quite a nice ring to it.

              As has 'Tintinabulation'

              I suppose phrases like "It's beautiful, I'd like to buy it." aren't allowed?

                      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                        Murmuration

                        ..... as in ' a murmuration of starlings '



                        The word beautifully captures the sight and sounds of this wonderful spectacle.

                            That's beautiful.

                            I'd nominate 'crepuscular' and 'widdershins'.
