A Puffin in flight, wings outstretched and orange feet tucked beneath it. Its colourful beak and black-and-white plumage stand out against a soft blue backdrop of sea and sky. In the lower corner, blurred wildflowers perch on a clifftop, hinting at the coastal setting.

See you next Spring! 😍

In my attempts to unplug yesterday I didn't take my phone on my morning hike. Then I saw these guys. My walk turned into a quick run to find someone with a phone - so long since I've seen two together like this. Of course, they would show up just as I'm writing a story about bears #bears
