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.

Very pretty. You almost make me miss it! Lisa :-]
That is quite beautiful. Winter is lovely to look at, isn't it? Meanwhile with me it is raining and raining and raining. That is winter here - not beautiful snow and pretty scenery. Sorry, but my vote still goes with spring!

Beautiful...
Looks like it could be a scene in Willa Cather's LUCY GAYHEART. Very solemn, sad, beautiful.
Great pic!
