  5. Oh, how gorgeous! I was just reading about Alaska having over 35,000 miles of coastline. I’ve wanted to see Alaska ever since I read The Call of the Wild. How is the weather? Are you near Juno? Your puffin pix are beautiful, as always. Thank you for sharing these. So colorful. I read somewhere that puffins are great divers! ♡

  14. Hey, these look great Cindy. I’ve never seen them this close. Those beaks have such an unusual design, obviously for feeding. Wish I had the hair-do though, or at least hair 🤣❤️🙏

    1. Laughing……. I could do with their waterproof makeup! No streaky mascara or smudgy eye shadow on these beauties! Thanks for making me laugh Mark ꨄ︎
