WOW, it has been a long time since I last posted. I have thought about it; my mind just has not been able to put on paper what has been rattling around up there. There have been some ups and downs which I guess would be expected.

After 10 years of waiting, I have finally fulfilled a dream and have had the joy of seeing the Puffins off the Maine shore. The sight was even more spectacular than I had imagined; in part by the expedition I chose – Bold Coast Tours from Cutler, Maine. Captain Andy Patterson was one of two companies who go to Machias Seal Island. Along with cruising around the island, the weather allowed us to go ashore to see the birds up close. The waters around the island were filled with Puffins, Razorbills and other sea critters.

We spent a good hour or so in the bird blinds photographing and just watching and listening to the birds. I have no words for the wonderful sight and sounds other than I am hooked. I just hope it does not take me another 10 years to get back to see the birds in their majesty again…..
