Letchworth State Park waterfalls (Oct 1, 2022)I had a weekend that was packed full of fun and frolic. I began it on Saturday morning with the long 4.5hr (one-way) drive to Letchworth State Park, southeast of Buffalo, NY. This is an amazing state park, with three stunning waterfalls on the Genesee River (amongst others). Just as spectacular is the Genesee River gorge itself. I began with the Upper Falls, then moved downstream to the Middle Falls, the most impressive of the big three. I then walked beside the west rim until I was at the Lower Falls, and then back (~5mi roundtrip). I finished off by checking out the gorge from the Big Bend Overlook, and then drove home. Upper Falls Middle Falls Middle Falls Middle and Upper Falls Middle Falls Genesee River Gorge Lower Falls  Lower Falls and gorge Genesee River Gorge Hiking back to the car along the gorge rim Big BendBenezette Elk (Oct 2, 2022)On Sunday I drove north to Benezette, western Pennsylvania, on another long 3hr drive (one-way). It was October and the wapiti (elk) were in rut. The shrill sounds of bugling elk filled the air. Males chased after females and other males, although I did not catch an actual fight between two equals. Thrilling stuff. Eastern Phoebe    Love is in the air Goldenrod and fall colors

As always, your silky waterfalls are gorgeous.
I’ve always lived where there are elk, but never tire of them.
