So, I Photographed PUFFINS Today!!!

[D-B-J]

The whole reason why I'm in Maine this weekend is because I joined a group of 14 other Connecticut photographers, and together we chartered a boat out of Cutler Harbor, and went over to Machias Seal Island to sit in blinds in the pouring rain and photograph puffins. I can honestly say that it was really cool, as I've never done anything like this before. I have a ton of images, but this is one of my favorite from the first cull and edit.

Well, I am officially jealous! That's a terrific image, and what a sight!

Puffins are definitely a bucket list bird for me. Problem is--I don't really like to travel north much. But one of these days, I'm gonna have to do a few times, just for the birds.

I am, for now. I've spent many hours today on photography, and I'm tired. Haha.
