I saw a hummingbird at breakfast today, and two huge yellow monarch butterflies during the hike. I failed to summit the mountain on the "Ironman hike" or "Death March" as it was dubbed, but I am glad that at least I tried, and it was very pretty though the woods. It was 38° in the blazing sun, and the altitude was around 3,000m, so it was for the true Ironmen rather than weekend warriors, I think.
