Sweet little Puffin getting rained on.
Ba-a-a-a-a

We’re sick of the rain too little buddy.
I love all of his photos of these adorable creatures so I have to give you just one more!
Muddy Puffin doesn’t seem to understand that he cannot dry his wings while it’s still raining….

I needs to smell you…
Sheeeeeep with colorful earrings

Food?
Happy little Puffins
Look at his cute little butt! My favorite of the sheep.
