I love these fiery displays of color! It’s a lovely time to walk in the woodlands… especially with my favorite deer! Enjoy the season, Mike!

  In Autumn, when the trees feel winter, and cry leaves.

Lovely, Mike. Few trees or shrubs produce such brilliant colours as the Sumac. We have one in our garden ad they are not easy to photograph – I know, I’ve tried.

  I would have to be blind not to see these leaves, right outside my kitchen window.
  Thanks, Ba.

Lovely! Sumacs are always so colorful. I noticed they seem to be one of the first varieties of leaves to turn here.

  They start early in Colorado as well. Maybe they are just anxious to be that beautiful.
  Thanks Peggy.

Wow spectacular. I like how the sun lights up the veins in the leaves. That’d make for a great spot for a fall photo of Pumpkin 😀
