Melancholy - a photo on Flickriver

Melancholy

            There is a sense of hope/adventure if you stand at the edge of a cliff and look out into the wider world. Staring at a wall immediately in front of you invokes sadness/melancholy. Not to suggest that is the emotion the puffin is experiencing. It is the emotion I feel from observing the puffin. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the puffin is merely thinking "maybe this is a good place to build our den". 

Newfoundland has much to offer, and puffins are no doubt among the best of the offerings. The Atlantic/common puffin is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN due to their rapid population decline.
