FlyingFinn • 9 years ago

The boa stands out a bit though :)

FlyingFinn • 9 years ago

I know I've said this a dozen times already but I cannot believe how calm she is....such a sweetheart. Ama I took away from you your use of the word "calm"....I'll change to "serene" :)) Same thoughts, different words. Didn't intend to take away from your thoughts :(

AMa • 9 years ago

(FF, I', listening to Tom Waits. He sings about "the nickel". What/ how much is exactly a nickel? 5 cents? "Nickels and dimes" What about a dime?) 10 cents? (raw guessing, don't laugh!) :)

FlyingFinn • 9 years ago

Heehee.....indeed, my friend :))) Thank you for that :))

AMa • 9 years ago

Joy looks very calm. She is contemplating, she listens....

FlyingFinn • 9 years ago

She's contemplating life and what lies ahead of her...the big journey.....

brian custer • 9 years ago

brian custer • 9 years ago

i've never seen such a scene of peace, tranquility and acceptance of destiny

just a beautiful moment

anitakapita • 9 years ago

The launching will happen...it must! Don't fear for Joy; it is a part of the natural flow of Puffin life! S/he accepts this!

brian custer • 9 years ago

the whole family in the burrow; on the cusp of joy's launching

i cannot believe what is happening in this burrow!!!

brian custer • 9 years ago

the grooming NEVER STOPS! joy will be like a wire-guided torpedo once she is launched

anitakapita • 9 years ago

Still here, eh little puffin adventurer! Just remember that when you do leave, we love you and hope the best for you!
