We don't have tall aspens or silver maple trees here but we do have a shrub that adds color to the pastures called Red Sumac. Turns a nice red color & happens to also be poision!

Nice. Nothing compares with Sumac for fall color, in my opinion.

Before people get carried away, it is good to know the following:
Approximately 250 species of sumac are known, from all of the continents, and they follow one simple, very handy generalization. Species with red berries, including smooth and fragrant sumac, produce edible berries, while species with white berries, including poison ivy, have poisonous berries. Native Americans were aware that red sumac berries were edible... Berries were frequently eaten raw but also made into a refreshing lemonade. Young twigs could be plucked from a shrub, peeled and eaten as a crunchy salad.

I have a few recipes that include red sumac...

Nice picture and yes I know just how poison it is. In 1964 while at Fort Jackson I caught it and my whole left arm got so big and they wrapped the the hand all the way up and I can't remember how long it took to go away but it did stay for a while. It is very pretty from a distance though a far distance.
