Breakfast outside looking over the hill. Little birds that could have been chickadees walked up and down vertical tree trunks looking for insects. We have never seen a bird do that but honestly it would have been easier to come join us at the picnic table as the ants scurried around our bowls of muesli. Squirrels ran along the fence and the sun started to warm for another day. Over the valley the smoke from the forest fires rose in great clouds spreading like a thin mist across the sky.
We decided to spend the morning kayaking the wetlands of Lake Windermere. Turtles and beavers live there. We saw their homes but no sign of life. Probably late afternoon might have been a better time. Still we saw thousands of brightly colored dragon flies flitting across the sky and a number of birds and little fish.
Sharon spent the afternoon working and so
the three of us drove around a bit and stopped by the lake further round. Warm water enjoyed by many but little sharp stones meant paddling was limited to a few sandy patches. We stopped at a bar that served the biggest plate of nachos you have ever seen. Our treat was seeing a family of ospreys in their nest perched on a pole high above the road.
More 500 until it got too dark to stay outside.
