Experiencing the Authenticity of the 4 Seasons. @ 42° 29′ 54′′N latitude / 75° 46′ 5′′ W longitude

The shear beauty of this Lilliputian piece of rock that mankind has been camping out on for some time now, offers so many variations of its splendor.

NASA's Curiosity rover captured the 1st ever photo of Earth, from the surface of the Red Planet, Mars.
This picture was taken only hours after the rover had landed on the surface of Mars, back on January 31, 2014.

The size of our home, which we refer to as Earth, disappears in the vastness of space.

If we look at it another way, as compared to a single grain of sand, tweezed from Earth's vast stock pile of these singular grains, the picture of our miniature status becomes very apparent.

While traveling in this boundless space, Earth does its thing.

While revolving around the sun once every year, and rotating completely around its axis every day, Mother Earth grants us the gloriousness of her existence by tilting on this imaginary line we call the axis of Earth.

The Earth's axis tilts approximately 23°27” from vertical. This tilt causes the Earth's seasonal changes. This tilt explains why the southern hemisphere experiences summer when the northern hemisphere endures winter. This tilt also explains why the hours of day and night change with distance from the equator.

For us, coexisting with Mother Nature at this exact location,42° 29′ 54′′N latitude / 75° 46′ 5′′ W longitude, on this tiny rock is precisely where I love resting my head at the end of every day.

It is here where you can truly experience all four seasons, winter, spring summer and fall.

It is here where every season is so different from the next, with every new year starting out with winter.

As winter fades, the onset of spring patiently waits to bound into action.








As all life is anew, with the northern hemisphere gradual pointing itself parallel to the sun, the summer solstice approaches. The lazy days of summer are here. Summer brings on a whole new and exciting array of activities and beauty.

As the days of summer wain, with the Autumnal Equinox fast approaching, things once again change in so many ways.
At this point on our journey orbiting the sun, while riding on the back of Earth, the Autumnal Equinox will bring some of us who live in the latitudes nearest the equator, an almost equal amount of daylight and darkness.
At my latitude, scenes of luscious green vegetation are about to display colors long dormant.
Slight indicators will tell us that fall is approaching.

When Autumn arrives, it does so in majestic ways.

Along with Mother nature, we change as well.

The changing seasons keep us on our toes, and adds a spice to our lives that would be hard to get almost anywhere else.

Every change of season brings on new challenges and responsibilities.

Life @ 42° 29′ 54′′N latitude / 75° 46′ 5′′ W longitude just suits us fine!
