Even if ours is a Flame Leaf Sumac, it has never (yet) shown these great colours.

Maybe that is because of your climate, being down south and all.

What gorgeous flaming leaves, Mike. I like each photo, and really like the first one with the sunlight shining through.

Thank you Jet. They are pretty in the summer too, leaning and looking kind of tropical. In the fall they really rock.

Sumac is part of our colorful autumn landscape in Oklahoma. I love how weeds and invasive plants really cast some beautiful colors – if only we learn to appreciate them for that! I let weeds grow this time of year. They make food for the birds all winter!

Ah, you are a smart one, grasshopper. You have kissed the earth and warmed animals in need. Tell me, grasshopper, do you have a place for an older man, very much my age, who might come to know your warmth and compassion?

Maybe it isn’t cold enough here? Or maybe we just got some that don’t go that colourful.

My guess would be it does not get chilly enough down yonder for the radical color change. But what the hell do I know.

I miss the colors of the season. Here in Florida the color is green or in dry times brown. I am thinking of writing a book on all the stuff I have written over the years. I am going to call it Plotz and Puns of B. Man. I am publishing some on my blog and need insight into which I should use and which I should discard. I would appreciate your insight. Thanks in advance, Barry

Just don’t plotz before you are done. I have no insight to give. Sorry, Ba.

I am thinking of donating the proceeds of my book to the Red Cross, hoping it helps Houston, Key West and Puerto Rico. Been to all three and have empathy for all those people who have suffered the wrath of the hurricanes.

It’s still warm here during the days, and just yesterday, there were 14 fires burning across 8 counties about an hour north of us. Horrific! Then the Anaheim fire in so. Cal. burned where my family is…we need rain. 🙂 Stay warm – would love to see some snow, too.
