Buttermilk Falls

My husband and I decided to take our 10th wedding anniversary off work and spend the day enjoying the fall weather.  It was a great decision!  We went to Ithaca to visit our favorite jeweler (the one who made our wedding rings) and then go for a walk at Buttermilk Falls.  I don't think the photos need much explanation.  Hope you enjoy our little stroll!

I adore this giant swirl, and want to thank whomever waded in the stream to build it.  Delightful whimsy.

Can anyone identify this enormous shelf fungus?  Seth and I are affectionately referring to it as the "circus peanut" fungus, since that's the exact color it was.  It was striking from quite a distance away.  I've never seen its equal.
