staghorn sumac


Beginning with the train to Toronto, I noticed a very distinct shrub with eye-grabbing red fruits everywhere in Ontario - especially along the roads and train tracks. To the best of my knowledge it is staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina). From the back seat of the moving car I struggled to get a good photo of it. These two images, taken in the Kingsville area, are nearly identical even though they were taken half an hour apart.

  1. That is so weird about the photos and timeline. I’d forgotten that. Also, was it fruit or flowers?
