First Day of Fall 2015 (Northern Hemisphere)
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Notice what’s been popping up lately? Pumpkins, squash, and some curious little critters, hungry for a harvest?
No surprise – today’s the first day of fall! It’s also known as the Autumnal Equinox, a time when day and night are equally long... meaning nature’s about to make way for the shorter days of winter. Today's doodle, created by guest artist Kirsten Lepore, shows off the colorful offerings of fall we’ll enjoy during the cooler months ahead.
