Látrabjarg puffin
Látrabjarg, Iceland is not easy to get to. The drive is beautiful, but the road is pretty bad, at times, and by the time I arrived I wasn’t feeling so hot. Winds were crazy strong, maybe varying between 20 and 50 MPH. Everyone wanted to see the puffins, and other birds, but it was very dangerous as the wind was blowing in the direction of blasting people off the cliff. To get anywhere near the edge you had to crawl on your hands and knees. Even then you couldn’t see any puffins, but you could see thousands of other birds.
Most people gave up on the puffins and headed back to their cars. I sat down on a spot no one was around and just soaked it all in for a while. Then this little guy or gal showed up. Not far from me, this puffin put on a show like a paid model. I have probably a hundred photos, each with a different pose.

The Ugly Duckling
After a few nights in Iceland I will be arriving in Copenhagen four weeks from today.
Today’s photo comes from the land of Hans Christian Andersen. I almost ended up in a place this summer on Nyhavn, just a door or two down from his former abode. Alas, the person didn’t get back to me until after I’d booked the place I will be staying in. Maybe next year.
Ducks on the pond
A little something from a recruiting trip to Walla Walla a few years ago today.
A day of rest
Happy Sunday everyone!
Today’s photo comes from four years ago. These critically endangered Hawksbill turtles were chilling on the Punalu’u Black Sand Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii.
