I'm fine. I took these photos on a very slow walk last night. All I have left is sore stomach muscles from having puked nonstop for 6 hours. I have no idea what it was and neither does anyone else. Thanks to all who asked.
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 photos. But Robin, are you okay? What was the emergency room visit all about? What was wrong?

Beautiful pictures! I'm glad you felt well enough to get out and enjoy a stunning fall day albeit slowly.
