To me the idea of something being serense, could be a baby fast asleep or calm blue sky. When l saw this beautiful blue sky, no wind so it was calm and this seagull, which came literally floating over my head..bingo..my image! Hope you agree!
One thing l did find out about this word, which l didn't know before, was that some European Royal families use the word serene as a term of respect, as in His Serene Highness. I learn something new with this blog, everyday!
