I was on my way to Tranquille by 8. The storm that travelled through our region late afternoon yesterday was notable. I took note of the leaf litter and broken tree branches scattered over the golf course as I drove by. 

My first stop was for a panorama of the wetlands. It continues to shrink as the river level goes down. 

I drove to the end of the road, turned around to catch an osprey, but missed. I stopped to look into the water channels to see the Canada geese. The wild clematis that tangles itself in trees and underbrush is in full bloom. I looked back across the wetlands pond to my mountains. There is an eerie light this morning as more stormy weather is coming. 

I was home by 9 with my breakfast in hand. At my driveway I noticed two chukars being harassed by three crows. I broke it up as I drove in. 

There is a definite smell of smoke in the air this morning. The air quality reading puts us at low risk. 

I'm definitely in for the day with my feet up.
