We headed over to northeastern Kansas this weekend, looking for fall color. Instead we got rain, but the day we arrived it was sunny, and I got a few good pictures.

The first two photos were taken near Douglas State Fishing Lake which was drained last year for dam maintenance.

The third was taken at the crest of a hill where a sign indicated the slightly historically significant Signal Oak once stood.

This image shows the sign that explains the story of the Signal Oak.

And speaking of signals … I found this other sign, showing that in a state with a rich political history, Kansas citizens continue to be outspoken.

You can click any of the above images to view (and purchase) them at my new photo site, Back Roads Studio; I still use and recommend Flickr as well: my Fall in Kansas Flickr set.
