Paddling to Weller Pond

This morning a group of us dared the weather and paddled South Creek to Middle Saranac to Little Weller and Weller Ponds.

We were happy to see a pair of eagles on Ship Island; we never saw them last year and were afraid they were gone for good.  Also, the iris

and swamp laurel

are blooming.

We were lunching on Tic Island when the thunder started rumbling.  Some of us made a hasty retreat, worried as much about winds on Middle Saranac as the lightning.  The storm never hit us, but it had obviously rained buckets just before we got to Tupper Lake.  It has been very hot and humid so afternoon thunderstorms have become the norm.
