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.
What a beautiful picture. We used to go to the Aquarium on the beach for sunrise sevices. While the service was in progress you could hear the seals and other mammals playing. Happy Easter Pennie
Perfect timing...perfect picture...I too went to sunrise service but the sun was already up when the service started at 7 AM. All the same it was outdoors and it was wonderful to have the fresh breeze brush past your face and hear the birds chirp as all this was going on. Looks like your Easter started off beautifully.
