We’re sick of the rain too little buddy.
Puffins, Puffins, more Puffins!

Muddy Puffin doesn’t seem to understand that he cannot dry his wings while it’s still raining….
I love all of his photos of these adorable creatures so I have to give you just one more!
I’m not sure how Mr. Puffin managed to get so muddy…
Puffins!
