Today's puzzle is a Tents. The tent layout of the solution is not a good idea in a thunderstorm. Nor is solving this puzzle.

Rules: For each tree in the grid, place a tent in an empty orthogonally adjacent cell, connecting to it. Tents may not touch one another, not even diagonally. A clue given outside the grid represents the number of tents in the corresponding row or column.

Side note: some statements of the ruleset only require that a tent-tree pairing exists and does not necessarily have to be unique. It is up to you which you prefer but it will not matter for this puzzle. But feel free to debate whether https://puzz.link/p?tents/3/3/li1111 is unique or not.
