How long until autumn

Thank you. Here, in Southern Alberta Lethbridge County , autumn is approaching The fields of grain have been clipped short leaving a yellow-brown stubble like a man's new beard. The upright green lush plants have taken on a droopy look The trees, oak, still stand proud and uplifted, still reaching towards the sky but their green glossy heads are slowly turning orangey-gold as an old man that has started to turn grayish white. The grasses in the lawns are perking up now that a rain storm or two has past through the area.

Apples, bowing down on slender branches, red and gold striped, are calling out to the gardener, "Come! Help me with my load! Come pick and make a platz, a pie, anything We need more time We can carry the colours through, because we are green, gold and red Here in central Maryland, it is still very humid and summery.

As an October baby, autumn is my favorite season! Mosquitoes will soon stop chasing me around the garden. We can enjoy the colorful leaves, pumpkins, apples and warm drinks. Time for flannels, corduroy and sweaters pretty soon. Sometimes I really envy some animals ability to hibernate. Wish I could have went to sleep around May and woke up around October, as that is how long summer seems to last in Texas. Your pictures are beautiful.

May I use some of your pictures for illustration in my book on forest ecology. I have not determined which ones I will use. I will write the proper citation regarding the source of the pictures. This book is for education purposes, not for commercial ones.

Thank you very much. Sincerely, Wiryono. I was able to stand two eggs this morning am Which makes 20 years that I have been standing eggs on the equinox Bogus science and mythology in celebration of the season! Autumn like the other seasons, I feel, reach their apex on the day that most people feel they start. Its a transitional thing where one gradually melds into the next. Its not so distinctive. There needs to be a rethink about this.

In Vancouver Washington we have noticed leaves changing to fall color and starting to drop for the past 2 weeks even though we are still having summer temps during the day. Come on Fall! We miss you! Autumn shows her lovely face in August. The light starts a noticeable change. Shadows are getting longer, the angle of the sun changes.

My dogwood starts to change to red. Both equinoxes and solstices are related to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Meteorological seasons are derived by splitting the year into four periods made up of three months each. These seasons are split to coincide with our Gregorian calendar, making it easier for meteorological observing and forecasting to compare seasonal and monthly statistics. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of autumn is always 1 September; ending on 30 November.

Solstices and equinoxes are considered to be the astronomical transition points between the seasons and mark key stages in the astronomical cycle of the Earth. In a year there are two equinoxes spring and autumn and two solstices summer and winter. Summer and spring are my favorite seasons; I love the warm weather of spring, and also, my birthday's in the summer!

August 5. I love decorating my porch, raking leaves and the beautiful color of the trees, pumpkins and warm cider too. We live really close to a acre park and the smell of the campfires in the air is something to remind me fall is here! The change from hot summer to cool fall is the best. It brings back memories of being in high school going to football games and having parties around a bon fire. The smell of dead leaves brings back so many childhood memories out in the yard playing.

And you cant forget Halloween! The best holiday of all!!! But when it comes to winter it sure finds a way to where out its welcome. Being originally from southern New Brunswick, Canada I was brought into this world in late Autumn and my siblings are all 1st. Farm territory, hunting, fishing, trapping and lumbering!

Spent a heck of alot of time on my Grandparents farm which was in my mum's family since approx. My grandfather being a Spencer! Oh, why? Well it's truly the survival season and a lot around the farm reflects all year what one has to do to prepare for it! It has a super blessing of bringing the coldest of cold and this wipes the earth clean of all it's tesitude of diseases and for this one miracle alone I cherish winter!

Have a super winter, hot chocolate, warm cider and a wee dram of what ale's the spirit! Thank you, N. Bryant from Toronto! We very much enjoyed reading about your life on the farm, your tribute to winter, and your positivity! Skip to main content. You are here Astronomy » Reference. By Catherine Boeckmann.
