Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans.
What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.
Oh I love that daffodil.....tried to take some good ones of my daughter-in-laws while out in Texas....did better with the bluebonnets and poppys. You go girl with your walking....I'll start soon too.
Congratulations on such a beautiful photograph, AND on walking 6.5 miles! Great job! Best, Judith http://journals.aol.com/jtuwliens/MirrorMirrorontheWall
