Happy Tuesday my friends!
Last summer, my husband and I had the incredible opportunity to explore the enchanting landscapes of Iceland. From majestic waterfalls to breathtaking glaciers, every moment was a captivating adventure. We loved beyond words Icelandic nature and wildlife!
Among all the incredible creatures, we spotted few puffins, flying near a beautiful cliff!
