Wandering the woods with our dog this morning, I spotted a sign seasonal change:
Sumac leaves turning from green to red.
The plant's berries – fuzzy and bright red – intrigued me.
Skeletons – of sumac past – drew me closer into the live grove. There I spied flattened grass in an oval shape... Most likely, last night's bed for a white-tail deer. (above, lower right)
I wondered what drew the deer into this place.
Looking up through the foliage, I understood.
This makes an enchanting place to dream.
I imagined nightfall as stars twinkled while lying under this UpNorth tropical canopy.
