Northern Gannets are monogamous and mate for life, very much like albatrosses. Pairs form, and renew their bonds, at the breeding colony, called a gannetry, which may contain thousands of pairs in close proximity to each other. Young birds also return to the colony in their second or third year, forming “clubs” of birds that rest together and begin to learn the local fishing routes. Males begin to claim a breeding site in a colony in their third or fourth year, shaking their head side to side frequently, biting the nest site itself, and stretching the neck toward females that show interest. Clashes between males over nest sites can be intense, with bills locked and much pushing at the cliff edge; injuries are not uncommon. Once partnered, male and female greet each other at the nest site each time they reunite, the males shaking the head, the females offering the nape for the male to nibble. They also engage in so-called “mutual fencing,” wherein they face each other, often touching, calling, shaking heads side to side as their bills clack together, bowing, and finally preening each other’s neck. Both parents care for and feed the young, taking turns on fishing excursions that may last several days. Both sexes defend the nest and chicks aggressively against other gannets, using threat displays such as jabbing with the bill.

>> You have filled every aching ounce of me ,

with a love I never imagined existed. You are the love of my life and the life of my love .

I realized that telling you my truth and showing myself to you,

standing in front of you with truth as my only weapon and your words were : You are safe with me...I knew right there , that is what intimacy is ..not about sex, nor anything else..real intimacy is about truth.

You know I am all beast,

you also know that even the most savage and untamed need to be loved...and you did.

You loved all of me , every day ,

you showed my all I never knew existed. My person , my best friend, my darling wife ..you are my all and everything in this universe. My soul adorbs yours, and we will never ever be apart .

I am forever yours and you are forever mine. I love you more forever and always baby love. <<

I had a little jaunt into the New Forest recently even though the weather forecast had been foul and I nearly didn’t bother taking my camera. The forecast turned out to be pretty accurate except for a few fleeting moments of light as I arrived. Luckily this coincided with these two buddies enjoying a little horse-play. I literally only had a few seconds to get out of the car and grab my shot. None of my camera settings bore any resemblance to what they should have been unfortunately but it was still a lovely scene.

“Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone - and finding that that's ok with them.”

thanks for being " here" again

....I just love that intimacy....just the two of us...I know the same thing can be tiresome so I won't put up anymore from this visit but what a lovely time I had, ( not sure about him heheh) although he sure doesn't seemed stressed in any way when we meet....I do watch for that...my friend said too bad about the poor light, but the funny thing is there is so much of that on the west coast at this time of year ....I try not to worry about it because the activity is so enchanting....enough said~~~~ have a great weekend ~~

Intimacy. :-)

Thanks for Viewing.
