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.

A stunning place...BTW I have the book and the article I mentioned awhile back by Karl Barth. I'll send it to you if you like. You can reach me at mompriestatgmaildotcom.
Beautiful, especially set against your gorgeous periwinkle background.
I wonder... will I ever see these beaches again? They are so amazing.
I'm missing Oregon! I lived there for four years way back in the 1970s.
My favorite beach ever. I love it there.
I went to Bible School in Cannon Beach. Your pictures make me miss it, so! I lived in Oregon for 35+ years... born and raised...
