I thought the Orioles were gone for the season but I spotted a group of males passing through and was able to catch a shot of one of them.

Sumac Frame


Tonight's sunset framed by Staghorn Sumac and a few grapevines.  I always thought sumac was somewhat exotic looking.  I recently learned that it is a member of the cashew family.
