I know some of you are in the depths of winter already, but we still have a Fall\/Autumn here. I wanted to use this word before another year went by.<\/p>\n

Post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post. I would really like to keep all the artwork together and provide a way for others to see your work and\/or your blog.<\/p>\n

The Creative Prompt Project, also, has a Flickr group<\/a>, which you can join to\u00a0 post your responses. I created this spot so those of you without blogs and websites would have a place to post your responses.<\/p>\n

Definition<\/a>: Autumn<\/strong> or Fall<\/strong> (\"play\"\u00a0\/<\/a>?<\/a>??<\/a>t<\/a>?m<\/a>\/<\/a>, \/<\/a>?<\/a>??<\/a>t<\/a>?m<\/a>\/<\/a> or \/<\/a>f<\/a>??<\/a>l<\/a>\/<\/a>, \/<\/a>f<\/a>??<\/a>l<\/a>\/<\/a>, respectively) is one of the four temperate<\/a> seasons<\/a>. Autumn marks the transition from summer<\/a> into winter<\/a>, in September (Northern Hemisphere<\/a>) or March (Southern Hemisphere<\/a>) when the arrival of night<\/a> becomes noticeably earlier.<\/p>\n

The equinoxes<\/a> might be expected to be in the middle of their respective seasons, but temperature lag (caused by the thermal latency of the ground and sea) means that seasons appear later than dates calculated from a purely astronomical perspective. The actual lag varies with region. Some cultures regard the autumnal equinox as “mid-autumn”, others with a longer lag treat it as the start of autumn.[1]<\/a><\/sup> Meteorologists (and most of the temperate countries<\/a> in the southern hemisphere)[2]<\/a><\/sup> use a definition based on months, with autumn being September, October and November in the northern hemisphere,[3]<\/a><\/sup> and March, April and May in the southern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

In North America<\/a>, autumn is usually considered to start with the September equinox.[4]<\/a><\/sup> In traditional East Asian solar term<\/a>, autumn starts on or around 8 August and ends on about 7 November. In Ireland<\/a>, the autumn months according to the national meteorological service, Met \u00c9ireann<\/a>, are September, October and November. [5]<\/a><\/sup> However, according to the Irish Calendar<\/a> which is based on ancient Gaelic<\/a> traditions, autumn lasts throughout the months of August, September, and October, or possibly a few days later, depending on tradition. In Australia, autumn officially begins on March 1 and ends May 31[6]<\/a><\/sup> According to United States tradition[citation needed<\/a><\/em>]<\/sup>, autumn runs from the day after Labor Day<\/a> (i.e. the Tuesday following the first Monday of September) through Thanksgiving<\/a> (i.e. the fourth Thursday in November), after which the holiday season<\/a> that demarcates the unofficial beginning of winter begins.<\/p>\n
