Horses, Sheep, & Delightful Puffins
I needs to smell you…
Ba-a-a-a-a
Sheeeeeep with colorful earrings
Puffins!
Muddy Puffin doesn’t seem to understand that he cannot dry his wings while it’s still raining….
Look at his cute little butt! My favorite of the sheep.
Happy little Puffins
Puffins, Puffins, more Puffins!
More sheep
We’re sick of the rain too little buddy.

I’m not sure how Mr. Puffin managed to get so muddy…
Sweet little Puffin getting rained on.

I love all of his photos of these adorable creatures so I have to give you just one more!
Lakes, Glaciers & Icebergs
The mouth of the glacier lagoon called Jökulsárlón at the base of glacier Vatnajökull. Those icebergs are headed for the North-Atlantic Ocean.

Sunset over Fjallsárlón, a miniature version of the glacier lagoon called Jökulsárlón. Both are situated at the base of glacier Vatnajökull and both are pretty spectacular.
Rainbow over the base of the Vatnajökull Glacier – because Jesus loves me 🙂
