What wonderful photos! I love the racoon peeking out of the tree--much better than when some of his relatives took up residence in my attic a few years ago! They are agile and clever and determined and very hard to evict--but really cute in the wild.
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.

Wonderful picture. How can anyone not love raccoons, well, if you don't mind the occasional bout of rabies.?
Your photos continue to amaze me. Thank you for sharing them.
