Today is SkyWatch Friday!
The brilliant red of the Sumac against the blue of the icy winter sky adds colour to an otherwise white world.

Beautiful photos of skies form around the world at SkyWatch Friday!
This is lovely! I like the contrast between the colours of the tree and the sky - they really complement each other.
Great nature study photo, and do like your cattails as well. I remember this time of year home in Canada as the long wait for the arrival of spring and this burst of colour across the white is just lovely.
Its so beautiful!!! thanks !
It's just lovely. So hopeful! ~karen
Love the spring feel of this image. Well done.

The sumac berries are still very red! They are lovely against the sky. :)
Isn't that a pretty picture? A little color to brighten a winter weary day. Love it. ~ks
It's truly lovely!
Great scene in winter.
Have a wonderful weekend.
What a neat shot!
What a lovely shot! I always love seeing splashes of color in the middle of winter :o)
Love the angle of the shot. Really nice. Thank you for visiting my blog, too.
The red is fuzzy, and I love it! Great patriotic colors too!
Marvelous colors and composition!!!
Red, not much seen on plants when all is white and winter reigns. I thought it was the seed of the castor oil plant, but then I thought it could not be because it does not grow in the cold climate. Sumac is a different matter, do you use the spice. It is called Rhus here but it is prohibited from planting.
wonderful red sumac...actually a warm winter, deep winter red...just beautiful and the shot is absolutely fantastic....background with delicat branches and the blue sky!!!!!!!
thank you for stepping in my tuscany; I loved it!!!!!!!
Have a happy weekend!
See you soon!!

Beautiful shot:-)
Lovely photo!
You found a very nice sight for us today. It is very pretty with the red Sumac and the blue sky as a background.
Great photo and much better than poison ivy LOL
I don't think I've ever seen sumac blossoms (or are they leaves?) before, how lovely.
That is a vivid colour indeed.
Lorac, about Sumac/Rhus; There are many; but I think the only not poisonous one is Rhus aromatica /Fragrant Sumac.
Rhus glabra/smooth Sumac;
Rhus lanceolata; prairie flameleaf Sumac;
Rhus copallina; shining sumac;
There are many more, check http://theepicentre.com/spices/sumac
Check Google for information on different Rhus/Sumac
I hope this helps. T.
Neat shot here. Beautiful.
It's official! We all love this photo!
That is a nice spot of colour, but so it the blue sky in the background. Looks like a nice day. - Margy
sure, we can use some colors now. :)

That's a lovely picture. We didn't have much snow at all this winter, but I loved finding red when it was gray and rainy. It really is even more cheerful against the white background that you have.
Wow, something really different!
Cool Shot!
A really LOVELY touch of colour! I think I must google about what this Sumac is. Have a great week!
I agree with Titania that I thought it was castor bean seedpods, at first glance. I have grown them as an annual, here in Canada, but they do not survive the cold. I love the texture you have captured!! Btw, did you know that sumac wood has a beautiful golden green colour to it?
Neat contrast between blooms and sky. Thanks for sharing.
I felt touch by this photo and the accompanied words.
