29Sep05 Sumac Berries Leaves - 6014

Photo a Day, Day 183...Cold, windy and rainy day today... Starting to wonder if we are going to have a fall or if it is just going to jump into winter. On the fall note, I loved the red in this sumac - Looked it up to make sure I had the right name for the tree and didn't realize that the berries are actually used as a souring agent in Turkey and Lebanon sort of like people in the US would use lemon juice...

Beautiful reds here CJ. I think we're blessed with some many wonderful colors to mask the fact that in less than 2 months we'll prob have nothing but white on the ground for the next 6 months, lol.

Beautiful composition that pulls the eye right in to those berries! Gorgeous vivid fall colors, and wonderful raindrops!
