Been so busy preparing for the upcoming craft show that I hadn't gotten any photos taken of the fall foliage until last week. I spent an afternoon at a couple parks snapping away.One place a squirrel hunting acorns distracted me, it was probably wondering what I was doing or if I was after any nuts. Some photos are reference for future paintings, details of leaves & such, though I did take a number just for the beauty of the trees. The colors aren't as vivid as they are some years, perhaps because it's been a wet, cloudy fall. The leaves are briefly muted hues before floating to the ground. It's been a bit disappointing. 

 There are a few trees sporting dramatic colors like this maple. But mostly it's been subdued shades, which are still very pretty.
