A little bit of fun for a change, I shot this lovely little puffin as he landed with a mouthful of sand eels, before dashing off to his burrow to feed his family. He seemed to do a little dance as he touched down and that made me think of the title and the dancing penguins. There was a meesy background in the original image so I replaced it with sea and sky in Photoshop and ACR.

A lovely pair of puffins.

This Atlantic puffin Painting has been painted with watercolors on yupo paper. Yupo paper got a very smooth surface which gives it this specific batik look.
