Couldn’t resist posting one more sumac shot:
This one I played with the processing a bit.
Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t.

Sumac leaves turn the most gorgeous red in the fall. The seed pods are also a deep red. It seems that red and sumac go together.
Against a white background, they stand out even better!

I grew up with red brick houses.
Had I been born on the Prairies, I suppose I would not have had the exposure to the warmth and regular patterns of brick walls. Brick is rare out there.
New home construction these days uses almost no brick, opting instead for other materials. The brick facade (front wall brick, the rest siding) seen on some houses is the ultimate in fraudulent design.
Is brick laying a dying art?

We put up the bird feeder about two weeks ago and have seen the usual chickadees and nuthatches. We have also had a partridge come by occasionally. Yesterday this fellow showed up:
In spring the evening grosbeaks come by. This is the first Pine Grosbeak that I can recall seeing although we are well within its winter range.
It was about -25C and he was fluffed up to about double his size to keep warm.

Three days to Christmas. It’s time for some seasonal colour.
Poinsettias are a popular plant at this time of year for good reason.

A lot of photographers put their cameras away on a gray day like today.
Colours have a way of standing out when it’s gloomy.
HERE are some more photos made this morning.
The leaves have nearly all fallen and the colour is leaving the bush.
Now we wait for snow.

Like sentinels, the objects on the wall collect information about our universe.
Two have almost instant communication, the third is somewhat slower.
