Yesterday was the autumnal equinox, otherwise known as the first day of autumn, although the greenness of the foliage and warm temperatures may make that hard to believe. The sun is precisely above the equator on that date, making day and night equal lengths in both the northern and southern hemispheres. (Colin Corneau/Brandon Sun)
