    A perfect macro shot, EG! You need no lessons from me! :) Any relation to poison sumac? Happy Ruby Tuesday!

    MaryT,
    NO relation to the poisonous type, which has WHITE berries. This is a wild staghorn sumac but some nurseries sell it for landscape purposes. ;-)

    Very interesting shot. Is this a flower? I haven't seen one until today.

    Mine is here. Good morning!

    Jan,
    I took it about a week ago...when the sun was shining.

    Sun? Did I say sun? What's THAT?

    I tried to get a good picture of sumac but the lighting wasn't right...going to have to remember to try again next year. Yours is so good.

    What a festive looking red. I don't think I've ever seen sumac berries before, though the spice often appears on food here it's color is a dull brick red by then.

    Nice red berries, and I assume the sumac is not poisonous in the cold weather. Not like you start itching by merely looking at the berries. Happy Ruby Tuesday!

    Interesting shot. It's hard to give it perspective on size. I am guessing the blurred shapes in back are bare tree branches.

    I always liked the shape of these spikes, reaching up and disappearing into the sky above.

    I've never even heard of sumac berries.
    They look quite unique. Must be beautiful inside in a vase?

    We have LOTS of these, and they are all covered with snow. What a pretty red color. It brightens up the day.
    Happy RT EG.
