never gets old

i’m a latecomer to smoke bush. i’m sure it has been around forever, but it was only brought to my attention a couple of years ago. and as i have mentioned, it was love at first sight. now i know where every smoke bush is within a 10-mile radius of my home. like its cousin sumac, it changes almost daily from now through october. but it’s in its prettiest phase right now. pale pink and aubergine.i know the exact coordinates of this one. i’m not telling.
