Damn... I was trying to upload all these shots to a portfolio site and accidently re-sent them to my own flickr page.
Consider it a 'retrospective'.
Enjoy!

Installed April 2022.
"The sculpture depicts two puffins facing each other with their bills touching. This position, known as ‘billing’, is a sign of recognition and partnership between breeding pairs. The sculpture’s internal framework is steel and the rest is made of willow, which will be replaced or repaired when required. The artwork is expected to remain in place for its two-to-three year lifespan.
There are four breeding pairs of puffins left in the Island, compared with hundreds of pairs a century ago. They are often found between Plémont and Grève de Lecq from March to July.
The species is threatened by invasive predators such as feral ferrets and rats. The awareness-raising sculpture is part of a wider project aimed at improving the habitat and breeding opportunities for the local puffin population."
Hand written letters are becoming a dying art. Many letter boxes are now disused, especially the rural ones, such a shame.

It's a strong sign that I'm in need of a vacation when I find myself going through my old photos.
Jersey, Channel Islands
Euplagia quadripunctaria, the Jersey tiger, or Spanish flag - a rare find in Poland. Not the best picture I took, but there was a lot of harsh light and no possibility to change perspective or/and lens.
