The leaves haven't changed much yet -- our proximity to the lake delays fall by several days. But every so often there's a dramatic reminder of what's coming.
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.

Dogwood, yes? We have one that looks just like it. Well, it did before the windstorm blew through Friday evening. Same branch, about half as many leaves. The blueberries are even redder. Our trees seem to turn in about the order they leafed out. The dogwood is almost gone and the chestnut across the street has hardly started yet.

This picture is beautiful!
Beautiful picture. My dogwood is more of a rust color at this point. I love the green in the background.
Love the sun shining through the leaves... Lisa :-]
