For all those who are in a dark place – here is some puffin love for you.
This is the puffin love story I heard ( and witnessed) on my last visit to the Great Saltee 🙂

Have a wonderful weekend!













Welcome back. I really miss your photos. The puffin photos are wonderful.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Welcome back! The puffin shots are great – they look like they’d be quite the characters.
Thank you! 🙂 I spent most of my time on the island sitting in the middle of the puffin colony, watching their body language and funny mannerism. Some day I will post more pictures.
Hello dear Inese!
Welcome back! So happy to see your photography again. What beautiful photos of beautiful birds 🙂 I hope you are having a good summer ❤
Warm wishes,
Takami
Takami, thank you so much! I am slowly coming back 🙂

These are absolutely stunning – I’ve missed your glorious photos:))
Thank you so much! ❤
Oh, one more thing, you are planning to visit your daughter in the fall aren’t you?
Yes, I do. Will travel until I drop 🙂
That’s the spirit. One of the best slogans (I was in Advertising and marketing for a long time) is “Keep walking” (Johnny Walker)
Right 🙂
Well well… 🙂 Puffins. I have an old interest in puffins. (An old comic stripe story) Never seen one myself. Maybe some day. Welcome back to blogging my dear. we missed you.
Thank you, Friend.
Puffins can be found in Brittany, by the way 😉
You are most certainly right, but Brittany is not on the agenda this year. 🙂
I guess it is not. But I will provide you with puffin pictures 🙂
Thanks
Your photos are just sublime, Inese. These are so beautiful, they almost don’t look real. Gorgeous birds and stunning photos. I’m so glad you’re sharing them with the world. ❤
Thank you Diana! The weather and the light were perfect for the puffin pictures that day, but not as good for the gannets, so I stayed with puffins for almost three hours, which was not enough at all 🙂
I imagine it would be really hard to leave.
Especially for a year 🙂
Awww. 😀
Thank you! 🙂
They’re unbelievably cute, Inese! 🙂 Like animated cartoons.
Nice show! Welcome back. Cheerz, UT
Thank you Uncle Tree! They let me sit quite close, and the weather was perfect for this kind of photography.
Great to have you back, Inese!
Thank you Rosaliene! ❤
Wow! You took very beautiful pictures of them!!!
Thank you! Was sitting next to them for almost three hours, and loved every minute of it 🙂
That was awesome!
Yes, it was 🙂
Reblogged this on JT Twissel and commented:

Inese, your puffin photos never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you so much for sharing these. You did a masterful job of capturing them. Hugs on the wing!
Good to see you back. Your puffin photos are delightful. Thank you for all the love.

I love puffins – and these are stunning photos! Welcome back.

Good to see you back. Lovely, loving, shots. I’ve never seen the wings displayed before
Thank you Derrick! These are young puffins, about 5 years old, just started courting.
