Some fall colors
Good morning, have a great day
Autumn/Fall has well and truly past on by here even though according to the astronomical seasons its still fall till the 21st of December, the colors have definitely gone here, especially after a recent storm we had with torrential rain and gale force winds. but I did save some fall photos for later in the year and perhaps through winter when we get sick of ( well I do ) the dull grey or white days

Now since i mentioned it you may bewondering what the difference is between meteorological and astronomical fall. The difference comes down to the weather based on temperature cycles (meteorological) and the natural rotation of the Earth (astronomical).
Meteorology is the science pertaining to the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere, especially as a means of weather forecasting.
Astronomy is the study of objects and matter outside the Earth's atmosphere in relation to their physical and chemical properties.
Both meteorological and astronomical seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall) represent Earth’s seasonal temperature cycle but in different ways.
-Meteorological Seasons
- Based on Seasonal cycles of Temperature
- Used for record keeping
- Consistent start and end dates
Astronomical Seasons
- Based on the Earths Rotation
- Traditional seasons and not used for record keeping
- inconsistent start and end dates*
And as I said earlier according to the Astronomical Seasons its not winter till the 21st, but according to Meteorological Seasons we are in winter
and with the below zero temps we have had some days I tend to think it is winter and for me the time I do not get out much for photo walks
This next shot is on a walk in Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford

And still in Buttonwood Park, I do love the Autumn colors but also feel it is mother nature teasing us before the cold grey and white days of winter come upon us
