I am not sure if it is part of the courtship or not but the Puffins pick the Irises and carry them around and in this case dropped it off at his/her mates feet.  I have several other picks of different Puffins caring Irises.  Taken as the sun was setting.

Great light and DOF, Rick. Love the setting too. BG completes this shot. Well done.
You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph
