Hello Puffin

I never noticed that puffins have so nice, friendly and curious grey eyes. But I had never seen one so close before.

I did not try to approach this little guy, crawling and hiding through the rocks, zwoosh crash splotch, with my too big rubber boots, my too heavy backpack and my too large red rain coat. It chose to come and study me. It went very near, looked at me, taking its time, one side and the other. And when its mind was made up, it left. I shall never know its conclusion.

Lilliehöökfjorden, Svalbard.
