Is there such a thing as an autumn equinox?


There is much growth in my garden at the moment, not frantic clambering growth at any cost, but a calm, mature segue into the cooler months.


To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

Now I have to know -- does the stirrup have special meaning for you?

Rebecca said...

Oh yeah.....you're south of the equator. Took me a second to remember that you go into winter as I go into summer. Elementary science is still somewhere in my brain!

I don't think my garden knows what to do ... the weather is too mussed up.

Julie said...

Indeed, mussed up is a good expression. And as you commented elsewhere, yesterday was balmy and today and Saturday will be equally wonderful, but from Sunday all will change. The hints of cool weather are subtle and, being from the Mountains, you may not appreciate the fine gradations ... like between 5am and 8am, I actually need a top on.

*grin*

Just get Bill onto talking about the seasons and the equinox. It has been an argument in our family since time began,
Yep, everything is still growing like crazy here. The garden thinks it is Spring. (only a week to go and we'll be sharing your weather)

I know where that cool weather is headed from - have a look at 'poof' - straight from the south pole.

The first photo is excellent - the composition as well as the focus. Hmm - I like that. Delicate, frail, tender - these adjectives come to my mind.
