Autumn!

For every season....turn...turn...turn. We are on our way to fall.
The season of Autumn hits tonight at 10:09. The days start to get shorter..the nights longer.

The NOAA graph shows the tilt of the sun is really the culprit to the cooler days and leaves turning to brighter hues of orange and red.

The temperature really has very little to do with the color of leaves. Interestingly, the lack of sunlight...or chlorophyll makes the leaves change from greens to yellows, orange, red and brown.

Winter solstice is just around the corner. Yahoo!
