Winged Sumac (Rhus copallina), putting on a display appropriate for the end of summer. Many shades of green, including chartreuse, yellows melting into orange, orange becoming red. Luscious autumnal colors. Happening now. Not the entire expanse of leaves but just here and there. Oh, season change! I LOVE IT!

A bit of rain in the forecast. An opportunity for me and my camera to get out. Take advantage of the change of light, as colors seem to intensify, brighten.
This photo, in the rain with that change of lighting, Winged Sumac (Rhus capallina).
So much to see. So much to capture in pixels.
So important to me – COLOR. And autumn really brings it to me. Now, in early autumn, a small tree, Winged Sumac (Rhus copallinum), is bringing joy to my heart with its color.
In spring, a tree with blooms that attract so many pollinators that the tree itself seems to buzz with activity.
But in autumn its emerald leaves begin to lose their chlorophyll, exposing the crimsons, saffrons, and marmalades. Rich colors to brighten even the grayest of days.
And on sunny, crisp days, when the weather is totally perfect, those colors sing to me.
