equinox

Ah... there's nothing like a cool fall day with bright sunshine and a slight breeze to lift one's spirits-- and that it has done, in abundance.

I think the two things I like about early fall (and even late summer, for that matter), are the lower-angle sunlight and the clearer air. The sun doesn't give the harsh shadows it does during summer, the light is slightly yellower, and things have a "bathed in sunlight" look instead of a "baked in sunlight" look.

The lower humidity is a welcome change, too, making even an 80 degree day seem cool by comparison to a similar midsummer day, and you can see to the horizon with little haze. Colors seem more saturated.

So, happy fall to all, and I hope it lasts longer than our recent "spring".
