Here's a photo I took a few years agon when I went on a puffin trip off the coast of Maine. These puffins nest on Machias Seal Island and the only way to get out there is by boat.

About Me
- John Theberge
- I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Puffins have to be God laughing....what other excuse can there be for their strangeness?? Great photo! I'd love to see one some time for real, but this is the next best thing!
Love them John!!
I'd like to take a ride on that boat! I've never seen a puffin. (Might you see the whales from the same boat?)
Saw lots of puffins off the coast from Seward on a whale watching cruise. That are strange enough to be cute!
Excellent capture! They don't even look real. I love puffins. I've only seen them in Iceland and had to climb a (small) mountain to do it. Apparently they are never easy to reach.
CUTE!!
What a lovely creature John. We don't have THEM here. LOL!!
Wow, I'd love to get that close to a Puffin. Hang on..I'd love to SEE a Puffin :-) Great shot John
