Windy

A little bit of a rain squall went through the mid-valley area during the morning, bringing rain and some wind and low valley cloud.  It was quite breezy for a short period with one gust hitting 50 km/h.  By mid day it had improved a bit and the rest of the day in the Bella Coola Valley was just dull and windless.


Another tree close to pollinating is the Black Cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa), these male catkins broke off and fell in the wind.  They are not easy to photograph on the trees because they produce on mature trees which are very tall in the Bella Coola Valley.  I'll have more to say about cottonwoods in future posts.  Stay tuned.  Grizzly
