Kauffman Gardens

Some photos taken during a casual stroll through Kauffman Gardens this afternoon. The fall colors and cloudy light have been quite magical these days. Meanwhile, all of my favorite photo blog writers have become obsessed with the latest camera offerings and they’re all yapping about that, and none of them are actually out taking any pictures. So, here’s a few pictures taken with a Phase One P30+ and a Hassleblad 500cm with 150mm Sonnar both of which are older than most of my kids, and given that my youngest kid is a college grad, I think the camera did just fine.
