Oh, I LOVE Sumac at this time of the year, Mary! As long as it's not poisonous and I don't touch it! I HAVE heard the phrase "take a hike" but it's been a long time. I hope no one says it to me any time soon.
Mary MacADNski: This is not the poisonous variety. I curse it the rest of the year for taking over the area around my pond but at this time of year it certainly is beautiful. If anyone does tell you to take a hike, you know where to go.
Wow Mary, this is so great, the sun in the leaves and the veins lighting up.
Mary MacADNski: I curse these sumacs the rest of the year for taking over the area around my pond but some days in the fall they can be pretty gorgeous.
Very nice shot Mary. I like the way you cropped it. The colours are beautyfull
Mary MacADNski: I didn't crop it, Richard. I don't use post processing except to straighten horizons and I guess I do the odd crop to get telephone wires put of the way or something. Very, very seldom. I guess you'd say I crop "in camera."
