i was stopped in my tracks today by the incandescent orange tips of these horsetail stems. the sun was lighting them from behind so that they flamed blaze orange. i am used to seeing blaze orange in the autumn woods. but on the backs of living hunters, not the tips of living fossils.

i love sumac. i love its feathery texture against the other roadside greens in the summer, i love that its leaves are the first to burst into joyous flame in the fall, and i love the burnt red seed head it leaves behind bright against the grays and whites of winter. honk if you love sumac!
