Early Color
My limited research has led me to belief this to be Virgina Creeper due to the 5 leaflet set. But when I found this I didn't run over take my shirt off and scratch my back on it either!
Anyway, this is actually from the same area my last post of the clouds was taken at. Again, last month Sept. 7th.
Everything then was totally green except this vine growing up a cottonwood trunk.
Colors are starting in this area being kinda spotty at the moment. Of course I want it to get here, but then I don't want it to end. What a quandary.

Xti, 70-300, f/11, 1/8

Virginia Creeper it is. Just remember that V.C. and Poison Ivy are fond of the same locales! Occasionally, they get mixed together . . . just to keep things interesting.

Nice colors!

This is really nice Brad. Love the varied colors and leaves in transition. Thanks for sharing!
