A wrinkle in sumac

December 18, 2017  •  Leave a Comment

The so-called "road to hell" is said to be paved with good intentions. So it goes with my good intentions. Because of the holidays, a house full of family, and, of course, a nasty cold, I've had to take a couple of more weeks off the blogging circuit, and though this galls me, hey, what can you do? Almost every day, however, I did get at least a brief time to record the natural world, so I'll try to catch up with shots from the archive I assembled, starting with this shot, taken on a quick walk nearby, of an old sumac bush loaded with fruit. Each berry is now wrinkled, which, in other species, means that any bitterness has been turned sweet, and the fruit is now ready to eat. The birds, however, don't seem to have gotten the message.
