A friend and I went to see the Monet in Normandy exhibit this afternoon.
If I were a good person, I would tell you all that I learned about Monet and I'd post one of his paintings.
But it just made me wanna play, too.

I have visited that Oregon Coast -only at midday and not at that light angle - breathtaking! I am mostly familar with Atlantic or Mediterranean coasts. The precipitous drop of the land to the ocean in Oregon is almost beyond belief.
It's been a long busy day - your picture was a welcome respite!
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.

Did you take this picture? It's wonderful.
Ahhhhh! This one looks like home to me...
