You can cut the moisture in the air with a knife. It’s humid, and shortly after sunset a thunder storm developed and worked its way out over Lake Superior. I drove over to McQuade Harbor (six miles away) and enjoyed some storm watching from inside my car. This is my favorite image with the gazebo in the foreground.

As I’ve noted in many recent posts, the wildflowers are amazing right now. Here are a few images I took within the past few days. The fawn and doe know me personally, and walked within five feet of me before disappearing into the forest. On the other side of the road were hikers whom they wanted to avoid and I have a reputation with the birds and mammals as the “birdfeeder man”! (i.e.safe and provides food)

I also made a quick trip over to Sax-Zim Bog. When the weather did not cooperate I explored some logging roads east of Canyon and was rewarded with these sightings.
Sandhill Crane and Tansy (truly an invasive plant)
Wild Turkey Trot! (pretty certain this is two families of turkeys)
