Puffins of Canada

Photographic Art by Sylvia Loomis

Note from the artist:

“Welcome to the charming world of puffins that have captured my heart—blending photography with artistry to transport you into a whimsical, painterly world!

Why puffins? Often called the “clowns of the sea,” puffins display remarkably human-like behaviors that never fail to bring a smile. Always dressed in their formal black-and-white attire, they are as endearing as they are comical.”
