The Autumn Equinox
A long time ago, when I moved to California from the East Coast, I thought it was spring all the time. Part of my culture shock was learning that the seasons were different here. Around Philadelphia where I grew up, we had hot, humid summers, and cold, snowy winters. In contrast, San Francisco summers are mild and foggy, spring and autumn are warm, and winters are cool and rainy. But no matter the weather or location, today is the equinox everywhere. Day and night are balanced at 12 hours each, for a very brief time. From the equator to the poles, it’s the same. To celebrate this rare moment of global unity, enjoy this eclectic mix of orchids. Most of these photos are from shows, but a few are from my own garden. Happy Equinox.
