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.

does this mean the sun is shining in Ohio tonite? It is still raining here . . . .
This is great!!! The Color & noise effect gives a warm sundown feeling.
Excellent shot!

Cool photo with even cooler effects. It's taking me away to a more relaxed place; thanks.
ahhhh. This is where I was born. If you ever go back, could you collect me a big old handful of those round, flat skipping stones that line the shores of Lake Erie? I will most gladly pay the shipping:):):)
I love your photo.
