Colorful Bastrop

Of permanent appeal in the Bastrop area is the iron-rich earth.

The first two photos show varied shades of it along the path we trod in the state park on June 6th.

I also found a few prematurely colorful leaflets on a winged sumac bush,
Rhus copallinum. You’re looking at two of them.
