I’ve spent the last couple of weeks trying to capture the allusive “perfect shot” of fall color. When I started two weeks ago, I thought the color was peaking, but found it to be even better this past weekend.

We went to Loose Park here in KC and took some shots of the maples. Even though there was a wedding party photo shoot around my favorite trees, I think these photos are my favorite.

I was also amazed at how the roses in the rose garden were in bloom (and got some shots of those, too).

And of course, there was a very cooperative squirrel at the park chowing down on a mushroom.
