You look like a young girl! Your town was on the national evening news; the reporter said the snow was blowing sideways, how the turnpike is littered with cars pulled over, and all the other dire news. Take care, *debbi*
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.

LOVE the photo!
Great photo. You look nice and warm in spite of the bitter cold.
I was warm -- I'd been shoveling snow!

Are you in there among all that bundling?
I don't think I've ever seen a picture of you before. You look like a kid!

Can't blame the dog. I want to stay inside and warm myself!
Peace, Virginia

Shame on you, trying to pass off a photo of yourself in your 30's as recent.
Nice cheekbones. Implants?
