Cunningham Falls

 Monkey Bread for breakfast.  Ok, fine.  There were scrambled eggs as well.
 We found these vibrant orange mushrooms on our hike.  When I first noticed them from a distance, I thought it was a tree with lovely leaves; however, upon closer examination, they turned out to be mushrooms.

 I'm not sure what tree this was, but there were so many of them!  The trunks varied in size, but they were all a slate gray color, with lovely green leaves.  Some of them were so feathery.  The forest looked like an enchanted fairy land.  I was reflecting on this when Brian decided to tell me there was an orc peering at me from around that tree.  It did in fact look like it was the forest from LOTR.
 It wasn't supposed to rain, but part way through our hike we found a little cove to wait til the rain passed.  The walk became fairly slippery.
 I love how the sun is shining!  Light paths are so much fun!
 The falls!  You can't see them very well from where we were, but they had it all fenced off so this was as close as you could get.
 The stream from the falls.
We thought it rather ironic that every bridge was filled with water, but the streams underneath the bridges were dry.

And thus concludes our first hiking adventure as a married couple.  I have more trips planned so as to take advantage of this lovely weather!

Smiles!
