Woodswoman Extraordinaire

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.

These are the last few shots I took in Maine, that I thought I'd share. Miscellany.

Moisture droplets are awesome. That is all.

We found a lovely old cemetery in one of the tiny fishing villages. The carvings on the stones seemed especially intricate to me, and absolutely lovely. I've been in a lot of cemeteries that date from the same time period (mid to late 1800s) and saw some designs that were new to me. I wonder if the village had a particularly artistic stone carver?
