Autumnal Equinox

Here is a sample of the sights around our home on this first day of Autumn.  Leaves are quickly starting to change color into their autumn finery, and the fawns of summer have lost their spots. Their coats look like their mothers now, making it harder to tell them apart since they've also grown so much.  As I was rounding the corner from our back yard to the front, I came across a mother deer with her nearly grown fawn who froze in place before leaping off into the woods.

No flower says "Fall" more than the colorful mum
