Along the river – colour in winter

by Marianne Parsons

Along the river channel, you might be attracted to the colourful berries and seeds. The red candles of the sumac glow, even on the gloomy days.  The green berries of the poison ivy also glow and look attractive, but please beware that all parts of the poison ivy plant are poisonous.  These green berries are so obvious now, and so plentiful, unfortunately.
