VIEW FROM OSAGE HILLS

Sumac, much like red cedars, are a threat to pasture land.  Ranchers go to great lengths to keep the land clear for grazing.   Since it is much too early in the year for sumac to be this color, I suspect it has been sprayed to kill it.  There were several areas along this road where this effect could be seen.

Aside from the reason why, orange and red sumac added a welcome relief from green along with the red steel fence posts.
