Sumac on the Kame

Spring is beginning to appear in Ontario. Mud season has been surprisingly short this year (so far). The grass is slowly becoming green, even vibrant is some areas. A few flowers are starting to appear as well.

 

It takes a while for the tender fruit orchards in the Niagara to transition into the growing season. Soon however, these orchards that spread across the fields and hillsides of Niagara will be full of colourful blossoms. A windy day in May can often seem like a blizzard with thousands of petals blown from the trees.

 

Until then, the berry clusters from the abundant staghorn sumacs provide much needed contrast to brown, grey and emerging green of this apple orchard on the side of the Fonthill Kame.
