Blazing Sumac!
The hillsides around Tuttle Creek Dam were just filled with huge patches of sumac, which seems to be more colorful this year than usual. I took this shot on Sun. when I revisted the area. Some of the sumac leaves are a little blurry because it was (as usual) quite breezy out there in the Flint Hills.

Canon Rebel XTI, tripod
polarizer
ISO 100, F16 +1/3 @ 1/6

Very nice Angela,
Is this place very far off of I-70? Might work in a visit on our trip to Moab later this month.
I am surprised you did not have enough plamps to keep the sumac from moving. :wink:

Very nice composition and colors!

Wind in Kansas? Why I've never heard of such! :smile:

The sumac seems to be doing well in Arkansas this year too. The eroded tops of those hills are quite striking - looks like they were shaved off. Nice work, Angela.
