Lighthouses just look so. . . hopeful.

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.

Beautiful lighthouse. Most of the ones on the Oregon Coast are the tall skinny kind. This is really pretty.

Robin, the very nobility is your character is rendering you naive here. You are writing about how YOU would adjudicate were YOU a Supreme Court justice (not a bad idea). Is that how Clarence thinks? You need to modify your wishful thinking to accommodate a Bush toady and future Scalia lapdog. Even Vince has a hard hard time accepting your argument, and we both know Vince is a much nicer person than me.
Uh cowboy dude commented on the wrong entry, I think. Heh.
Lighthouses light the way home after a long run at sea. Or something. Yeah, they seem hopeful to me too.

cool effect you used on the Lighhtouse.
LOve the lighthouses...thanks for sharing~

I've never seen lighthouses that were stout like these. All the ones I've seen on the Atlantic coast are tall round buildings.
I agree 100% with cowboy. Due to Miers' inexperience, I fear that she will become the lapdogs of Scalia and Thomas who wouldn't know how to think beyond what their preacher, pastor, minister, or bible tells them if their lives depended on it.
Don't you just love morons who comment on the wrong entry? Well, if someone would turn a LIGHT in in here...
I can almost smell the salt in the air.
(too funny Belfast)
