2012 Fall - Turn Turn Turn - # - arctangent's Photos

Whose turn is it to turn today? A chronicle of the progression of changes in the natural world from September through November (the months that comprise the climatological season of Fall or Autumn in the upper midwest).

I'll try to confine the images to sights seen only at this time of year. While the weather remains warm, flowers and vegetables continue to grow as though the fall is an extension of summer. I don't consider them to be seasonal sights. There are separate galleries for garden flowers and for fruits and vegetables throughout the year. There will be a certain amount of overlap between those galleries and this one.

Seeing a tree in full bloom this time of year, when all the leaves have fallen from this and almost every other tree, is a wonderful surprise.
