Happy Autumnal Equinox!  Today marks the day when the sun is directly over the equator and the northern hemisphere will have less direct sunlight until the spring equinox.  Personally, I am relieved to be tilted away from the sun for the next two seasons.  The growing season is winding down, but we still have lots of ecological activity in central Oklahoma!

I love the golden yellows and vibrant violets of early fall blooms and fruits, the last hurrah for insects, the burst of fungus after a late storm, and the tinge of fall color to the tree leaves.
