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.

Wonderful. I love the Oregon beaches.
That is stunning.
I love the reflection in this one....
that is way cool, and I am almost over my "you went to Oregon" envy...
glad you got the yard cleaned up and that the daughter is home to do her search. I came back to PA in my early 30's and plopped down with ma and pa briefly to do a job search.
that is gorgeous. We sprinkled some of my mother's ashes there, out on the rock (at low tide...at midnight-ish), by the tide pools.
