Alas

Our hike today revealed that the wonderfully diverse and colorful fungus we've been enjoying are starting to decay.




We checked on our current favorite bug, the sawfly larva with the white waxy extensions that look like feathers.  It and three others were alive and thriving, according to the huge holes in the leaves they were on.

Unfortunately for the tree, they had managed to strip the center branch of 2/3 of its leaves from right to left. 

Win some, lose some.
