Eliza Waters 
What an attractive photograph, filled with light colour and depth.
Thank you very much, Anne. 🍁
Fascinating trees, sumacs…
They put on a great fall show. 🙂 ❤
They really do…
Autumn, right there in full glory!
Don’t you just love it? Best year we’ve had in a while. I guess that is the silver lining for the ongoing drought.
I do. They are invasive but that’s okay since they are not in my yard 😉 Oh… we are not in a drought, however. Sorry you are!
New England has had little rain in months… although we just received an inch, remnant of Ian, I think. It started our waterfall flowing again at least.
I know there are areas of New York and even Pennsylvania where it’s been raining pretty much all week… surely remnants…
Hi Eliza. A real sign of Autumn, lovely colours.
MJ
Thanks, MJ!
Rainbow of fall colors. Beautiful.
Thanks, Judy. I love when you get the gradation of color all at once… so pretty!
Are you ready for the onslaught this weekend? Batten down the hatches! 😉
We have been using our two electric fireplaces, but I’m thinking I’m going to have to kick the heat on. Our electric rates went up 111% and propane is almost double – it’s going to be expensive to keep even remotely warm this winter.
Love the photo and fall colors!🙂
Thank you, S!
Autumn! Autumn! Autumn! 🍂
Yes! 🙂
One of my fall favorites: such colors!
Aren’t they amazing? I love the 3-color look!
So many people consider this a weed, but it’s always been one of my favorites….beautiful color summer & fall, food for insects & birds, & those “staghorns” glisten in the sun all winter.
You said it! A great native. 🙂
Beautiful shot with amazing, complementary colors!
Thank you, Hien! A glorious show they put on.
Sumac is definitely dressed in its fall apparel. Beautiful! I will have to take note of neighboring sumacs when I am out and about.
One of my favorite native shrubs, esp. come autumn!
That is a good one for fall!
We’re having a beautiful autumn so far, the colors are beautiful!
I always thought droughty years made for better fall color?
It seems so. We got a bit of rain in early Sept. so I think it struck a balance that saved the foliage. Too little rain and the leaves just drop, too much rain and they get leaf fungus, crisp up and drop, like last year. We got lucky this year!
The three bears of fall?
Ha! Yes, juuuuust right! 😉
Gorgeous!
Thank you, Sarah!
Oh, the pretty Autumn colors…more a ‘Weeping’ Staghorn Sumac.
Thank you, Alice. This is my ‘bird perch’ tree near our winter bird feeders. 🙂
Great tree for autumn fire! Lovely vignette!!
Thank you, Allison!
Such pretty colors! I love the fall season…it passes too quickly. And btw, our new plantings that you helped us with are doing very well so far.
Thank you! Glad to hear they’ve settled in well.
W🧡nderful!! 🧡🙌🏼🤗
Thank you, Susan! x
I remember climbing those trees as a kid in Michigan. Down here, there is a big tree called an African Sumac. A terrible tree that sheds all year round and can never be overwatered. I had it cut down and removed from my backyard!
I know some folks regard Staghorn sumac as a weed, but I love its color and form. I find it easy to manage, easier than a lot of other plants out there!
I agree, they are attractive plants!
Yummy fall color!
Thanks, Sandy, it sure is!
Gorgeous colours Eliza! 🧡 xxx
Thank you, Xenia!
Love the design 💕
Thank you, Val! x
So beautiful! I never knew it was called “Staghorn” sumac!
Thanks, Julie! There are many species of sumac. I’ve seen winged and staghorn locally growing wild. Staghorn has fuzzy stems, thus the name. Winged usually grows in damp areas, is smooth stemmed and has beautiful shiny leaves.
Beautiful! That photo deserves to be framed.
Thank you very much, Kris! 🙂
It wears its colours well. Fine photo, Eliza!
Thanks much, Belinda!
I learned decades ago that these ripe seed pods can be soaked in a jug water, like tea, infusing it with a pleasant citrus flavor (better when sweetened, of course). I made it once–delicious.
We tried it and it was pretty tart! Extra honey or sweetener needed. 🙂
That gorgeous color would be reason enough to plant one of these in one’s yard.
It was for me, but as it is stoloniferous, it needs space and management. Luckily, it is easily accomplished!
I’m glad for you (and for us, your fellow bloggers also). 🙂
🙂
This is a beautiful photo of sumac, Eliza. Well done! 😊👏
Thank you, Pepper!
😊
Beautiful sumac. I have a small Flameleaf sumac, Rhus lanceolata, native to this area which looks much like yours. I look forward to its growing up!
Sounds lovely!
The leaves look like they are waving at us. Beautiful image, Eliza. I love the colors that sumac takes on in the fall. Their leaves are some of the first to change here, long before the weather cools.
Thank you, Robin. It’s been a show-stopper.
wow! just beautiful color…I love this image
Thank you, Sylvia! This tree was amazing this year.
Another autumn beauty, Eliza. 🙂 🍁
Thank you, Jane!
This is Sumac’s time to shine and they are offering brilliant color again this year. Have you ever made “Sumacade”? I have not but understand it tastes a bit like lemonade.
The fall colors in general are gorgeous so far. B made the tea once and it was so tart, it needed a lot of sugar!
Glorious fall colours!
Thanks, Maria. It truly is spectacular this year!
Beautiful colours! 🙂
Thank you!
Beautiful autumn colours
Thank you, Karina!
Absolutely gorgeous! Welcome, colorful Autumn!!
Thank you, Donna… such glory!
Vibrant fire, love it!💯🥰
Thank you, Stormie!
You’re welcome Eliza🕊
Now, this is something I’d love to see every day! You have such a great eye, Eliza!
Thank you, Nailah!
