I'm trying red leaves today

Another spectacular day in the middle of October. There have been so many orange colored leaves pictured here lately, that I though I'd try to find something of the red persuasion. What is available in red seems to be sumac and some sort of ivy that grows in and among the leaves of trees that it inhabits. That's what the first one pictured here is. It was in Como Park in one of the more wooded areas of the park.

And sumac. One can always count on sumac for some bright red coloration. This, too, from Como Park, very near the soccer fields, soccer fields that were being used for lacrosse practice this afternoon when I visited. Many Twin Cities residents were out walking in the park partaking of a very nice day, and one of the last nice weekends of the season - whichever one that is.

Today is 10/10/10 - the tenth of October and Brett Favre's 41st birthday. X/X/X in Roman numerals - although I don't think that Brett is Roman, or even Italian.
