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.

Oh, those babies are probably wishing blooming came with a rewind button. :-)
Beauty in even the ugliest scenario. Yecchhh. NO MORE SNOW!!
I will say that it made me laugh. Although maybe laughter is close to tears. Thanks for you comment in my new baby journal. I'm feeling a bit "snowed under" myself. http://journals.aol.com/bethsfrontporch/BethsFrontPorch/

That's just ... wrong.

Oh I KNOW--isn't this weather just too wild? I posted a picture today, too, or our poor little boat all surrounded by snow. Your photo is gorgeous. http://journals.aol.com/theresarrt7/TheresaWilliams-author/
Whoa, the weather is really screwy lately.

It's a roller coaster this time of year. I'll probably be posting a similar picture tomorrow if the forecast is at all accurate.
A beautiful picture, but I'm sure you're probably tired of the snow by now! ~ Lori
The image is beautiful....the reality is a real bummer.

Wow..beautiful in a disturbing way!
Oh my, sorry about that. I hope it doesn't harm the plant, but what a great photograph it makes.

The surge of Spring, clashing with the end of winter. What a beautiful, striking photograph!
Take Care,
