#234 – Red Sumac

There’s something about the fall colours that makes me happy. Maybe it’s the way the leaves change from greens to deep reds, oranges, and purples; sometimes so quickly it feels magic. Or possibly it’s the relief of crisp temperatures. Either way, I love spending time outdoors in the autumn months, admiring all the beauty around me. Sumac blossoms offer some of the season’s most striking ruby tones. Throughout autumn and early winter, many birds including the Robin visit the Sumac blossom for any remaining seeds.
