Picture of the Day for September 22, 2016

The September equinox marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from north to south and in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the first day of autumn or fall.  And with autumn, one thinks of shorter daylight hours which causes the leaves changing color for autumn’s spectacular foliage display. Even on this cloudy and cooler day, I have one maple tree which does not want to let summer go as it always has about half the limbs staying green while the other half turn bright red before any of the other trees in the area.
