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.

Happy New Year, GannetGirl, or as happy as possible, anyway. And that is a lovely phote, full of hope and life!
(((Gannett Girl and Family)))
It must be hard to take "family" pictures...even in a place of great beauty.
Gorgeous kids! The color of the sky and the angle of the light are beautiful too. It is 12 degrees here now.
Purple, it is very hard to take those pictures. I see, always, the shadow of a third child.
But then, it is hard to breathe as well.
So beautiful ... two very good reasons to keep breathing (and I can see/feel the "shadow")
Beautiful photo and they both look full of hope. But I do appreciate the shadow feeling, too. Prayers continue...
Word verification is my name!!!
What a beautiful picture!!
New picture at the top of your blog roll, too.... Symbolic? (I hope so...it is beautiful, too.
Lovely picture of beautiful children... It is a new year, continuing to be filled with more firsts....
Courage. It doesn't roar...it is the quiet voice at the end of the day, saying, I will try again tomorrow.

I also see the shadow.
Yesterday, I was thinking about your blog name and the connection to where you are now and the searching - never really done under any circumstances let alone yours.
Again, thinking of you.
