I am watching the white gannets
blaze down into the water
with the power of blunt spears
and a stunning accuracy--
even though the sea is riled and boiling
and gray with fog
- 'Gannets' Mary Oliver
Had a wee walk up Berwick Law today - my friend had the ulterioir motive of wanting me to give her a picture of the Bass Rock as a gift so took a few pics :) After we'd had a lovely climb (sunny! dry!) we wandered to Tantallon castle - and then came back to soggy Edinburgh.
Photos here.
(NB poem choice influenced by the fact that the Bass Rock is the largest single rock gannetry in the world!)
