About Me
- Gannet Girl
- 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.

Beautiful picture. Where were you standing?
This formation is maybe 10-20 feet from the coastline.
The color in that photo is amazing! Stacy
Am I the only one who sees the top of that outcropping as a sleeping Irish setter? The head is on the right.
The beauty of your photos and the scenery continue to amaze me.
I think Paul is right. I can see the dog.
Nice photos.
