Puffins and Sunrise

I adjusted the density of these pictures, but otherwise there hasn't been a whole lotta photoshop.
This is called a puffin. It is a muffin, in a puff pastry shell. My parents had quite an affinity for them. I was, if I recall correctly, less impressed.

wow. those look awesome. I had assumed you meant actual puffins like in Iceland, which seemed unlikely.

I had a feeling, as I wrote the title, that many would assume that pictures of birds were in their future. It's like a blog trick. With no real point.

Hey, didn't you have a spell where you called all sea birds pelicans? Even if they weren't pelicans? I might be misremembering the bird but I do remember some zany misnaming.

So I figgered puffins would just be pix of hmmm pelicans? Peregrine falcons? Pigeons? Flying squid? Whatever, I certainly didn't expect real puffins nor did I expect edibles.

A muffin is pretty well enough, and in a pastry shell, well I could see overkill. But with the Atlantic there to walk beside, and a sunrise to catch, perhaps a puffin would be ok.

And the wider frame is ok but probably not worth, on my computer at least, the headache and angst of actually making it wider.

I did, sort of. It was more that I called all pelicans penguins. This was in Appalachicola and, at least at first, was a slip of the tongue I so enjoyed that I began to do it more frequently.

Ah yes the Apalachicola pelican penguin change up. Now the Dewey puffin pelican penguin change up.

I know it was not frigid yonder way at Christmas, but here we are at a whopping 26 degrees or thereabouts, aiming to a low of 9 or 10. So the water shots, while beautuful, make my teeth chatter just imagining how cold NOW the shore would be!
