"Nature’s Fireworks - Autumn’s Final Flourish" by Patti Deters. This vibrant autumn scene showcases a lush mix of sumac (Rhus typhina) and various other foliage transitioning into their fall colors. The fiery red and orange hues of the sumac contrast beautifully with the soft yellows and greens of the surrounding plants, creating a visually dynamic and textured landscape. Wandering through a woodland path in early autumn, the fiery canopy of sumac seems to burst open like fireworks. Each leaf, dipped in crimson and gold, tells a story of transition, of a season bidding farewell in the most dazzling display. It’s a fleeting masterpiece - one that nature paints anew each year, inviting us to pause and admire its artistry. The title says it all. Thank you for viewing this image.
