Slightly older cousins of the ones I wrote about yesterday -- sixteen of them piled up alongside one of the Little Lakes.

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.

WHAT a great picture. Our "goose puppies" out here are a little older. Saw some at the cemetery yesterday that were already losing their down and starting to look like geese...
Cute. Perhaps subliminally you started a bird post frenzy, see Here I Stand, Heart of a Pastor and Lutheran Husker, as well as my place. BTW. Congrats on your great finish. Sorry about the critters. As a fellow owner of a money pit, I feel your pain.
sure they are cute now, but I find adolescent geese ugly. the adults poop a bit, but apparently not as much as raccoons ;')
