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.

Hurray! It looks like you got your camera to talk to your computer.
Nice picture. I'll bet it was a nicer walk in the woods.
waterfalls are amazing. Introduced in the poconos, amazed in Oregon, then back in PA found Ricketts Glenn State Park, which came close to being a national park. It is one of my favored natural places and hope to take the geology students there
Lovely pics, Gannet!
I wanna go THERE.
Beautiful pic.
Makes me homesick.
Grew up in Asheville. Been to LG falls many many times but not since I left area in 1976.
