Stained Glass Sumac

Stained glass sumac 2, a photo by pdecell on Flickr.

Partially skeletonized sumac leaves. I think of all the fall leaf colors I like sumac the best. especially when light is transmitted through the leaf.

Via Flickr:
Edited in Picnik to get rid of the blue cast on the upper portion of the original.

Sumac Lit From Behind

Even if sumac were red in the Spring
It would not be as beautiful as now
Where the deer sleep in their forms.
