Horses, Sheep, & Delightful Puffins
Food?
Muddy Puffin doesn’t seem to understand that he cannot dry his wings while it’s still raining….
Puffins!
I needs to smell you…
I’m not sure how Mr. Puffin managed to get so muddy…
Look at his cute little butt! My favorite of the sheep.
More sheep
Puffins, Puffins, Puffins!
Sheeeeeep with colorful earrings
Puffins, Puffins, more Puffins!

I love all of his photos of these adorable creatures so I have to give you just one more!
We’re sick of the rain too little buddy.
Puffins!
Happy little Puffins
