and now for something different

this isn’t a typical STILL blog photo. i had actually been eying the cone flowers beside my public library for a few days. but as i pulled out of the gas station today, this copse of sumac trees blowing in the wind, against a cloudy sky, with all of the angled undersides of the leaves catching the light just so, caught me eye and i couldn’t look away. i did an illegal u-turn to turn around an snap this photo on my iphone. i love how tropical it looks. against a white northern sky.
