In 2004 I visited several fabulous photo locations, including the Galapagos and British Columbia. But the only image I have ever gotten around to naming came from an August 2004 boat ride to Machias Seal Island off the coast of Maine. The scientific name for the Atlantic Puffin is Fratercula Arctica, which translates as "Little Brother of the North."

Little Brothers

"Little Brothers" is the cover image for a new book from Down East Enterprises, "Nothin' but Puffins, and Other Silly Observations." Author John McDonald is a noted Maine storyteller and humorist. There are 64 photos in the book and 22 of them are mine.
