Walking the Crosstimbers
Red Leaves of Autumn
Posted by Earnest (Oklahoma, United States) on 11 November 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
A very wet set of Sumac leaves shows the deep red hues of approaching cold weather.
I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!

Glorious capture of the sumac Earnest I tried all fall to get one of these guys right never got one I really liked but this one would have been it - well done.

@Bill Ault: I had a lot of culls too, Bill. Never got it quite right. My new camera took care of me on this one as I had automatic settings on and it fired the flash... otherwise I don't think they would have stood out as well.
