Why Gannet? Why Search the Sea?
- 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.

Very cute picture of the ducklings.
Duck-puppies! :)
What little cuties. They're hard to get close to. I wonder if there are any out at my favorite pond.
Goslings. Soon they will be huge Canada geese.
I was thinking that these cute little babies will be summer (and winter's) nuisance as they grow, squawk, and poop everywhere. Until then, enjoy their fuzziness and innocence.
Oh....goose-puppies...! :)
Actually, the proper terms are duck-kittens and goose-puppies...
