The question is being asked by students on AccuKidz: What is this fall Season and does everyone on the planet experience the change we see here in the Northeast? Well, the answer is no, for many around our world they never see a change in any season. For those of us who live in a region where we have the four seasons, we are blessed to view the changes of Mother Nature. But it’s the fall season as the Native American’s say "Mother Earth is going to sleep". In a way this is true, plants and many animals prepare for those long winter nights. Hibernation takes hold as the region is engulfed in the Winter season. The definition of the Fall season is: The season of the year between summer and winter, lasting from the autumnal equinox to the winter solstice and from September to December in the Northern Hemisphere; fall. For our friends below the equator, they are going into Spring!

Every autumn, our forest transforms into a brilliant show of color. From glowing yellows to fiery reds, the leaves metamorph, showing their rich and vibrant hues. From the Northeast United States, to the Southeast and Midwest United States, the foliage season begins in early September in the northern regions and ends in southern locations in late October or early November. Every year, people flock to these areas to take in the fall foliage, to catch a glimpse of nature’s splendor.

Posted on the Photo Gallery, some recent foliage pictures from our AccuKidz teams. Remember we would love to see your fall pictures, upload them today.

The following quotes are from famous people and their interpretation of the fall Season; what are your thoughts on The Fall Season?

The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.

~Oliver Wendell Holmes

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.

~Edwin Way Teale

Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

~Carol Bishop Hipps

Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.

~Emily Dickinson

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

~George Cooper, "October's Party"

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.

~Elizabeth Lawrence
