Faunae, that is, more predators of Holy Souls Mountain

When you live in the most bio-diverse site in the world outside of one island of the Hawaiian islands, you have to expect all the drama of nature to be played out. Here’s a yellow-jacket eating the heart out of what would have been, presumably, a gorgeous butterfly.

This guy is playing dead on the altar covering. Otherwise, he’s about 2 1/2 inches across running about. I put him in a bottle and let him go at the hermitage.

Bracing progress on the Hermitage on Holy Souls Mountain

When I climbed up to do a bit more of the roof, there were some pretty frightening creaks and groans. Time for some braces. Both cables/turnbuckles and carriage-bolted X-braces.

Florae, well, changing leaves of Holy Souls Mountain

If anyone shouldn’t die, I shouldn’t, because, look at my glorious raiment, my colors giving pleasure to God and man!

Soon, Fall comes. It’s called Fall for a reason!
