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.....I want to learn to do that...but first I'll have to get a Photo Editing Program my free trail ran out. All the same this is super terriffic. Great Job. Yea!
You have a wonderful "eye" for pictures. I am still experimenting with my camera. I got some what I hope are some great photos of bluebirds this morning
I found you through Mirror/Mirror. I've lived in alot of places, but I currently live on an island where I can get to my beloved beach in ten minutes...there is nothing like the smell of salt air in the morning!! Penny http://journals.aol.com/schnozbeary/FreshCupMoveDown
