The Autumnal Equinox
Yesterday, at 3:21a.m. Central Daylight Time, the Autumnal Equinox quietly began its time. For my area, it was cool: the day began with temperatures in the 60s. Of course, it warmed to 95 by day’s end, but at least we can start to think about dropping temperatures. I began this collection of photos, all in Georgetown, Texas. before dawn, paying a quick visit to the town square, then on to Blue Hole Lagoon (the opening photo), where I noticed walkers out already. And a Great Blue Heron some folks called Harry as he foraged for fish. Moving on, I stopped by San Gabriel Park, where a pedestrian bridge out since the Memorial Day floods was once again intact. Everyone I met was happy at that development!
After about 3 hours, I switched into my walking clothes and strolled a gentle six miles on the San Gabriel River Trails. The hike took me past a really nice little area near Booty’s Road Park, the water flowing nicely around bits of lichen, the insects feasting on yellow flowers. I ended my autumn experience by taking in the waxing gibbous moon at Georgetown’s First United Methodist Church. These photos were for my friends at the Williamson County Sun.
