How do you feel about Autumn?

[Lost_Demise]

I was just wondering, how does each of you feel about autumn? What emotions or kind of memories do you represent with that season? Do you have certain things you like to do during that season the most?

And also, if Autumn could be represented by an animal or plant, what specific one would you choose for it? Of course nobody has to answer any of these questions. It's all for fun.

Autumn... hmmm I would say it is a time of change. Summer and winter are more of the same day after day, but in autumn you can literally see the wheel turning, one day it will be the hint of gold in the leaves, the blackberries turning red then black, the starlings forming their huge flocks and gathering food for the winter, then the leaves form a golden carpet on the floor and the sun sets earlier and earlier, and more south than east.

To me it is a time of change

I love autumn! It makes me want to find a secret place with trees changing colours, and dance! I love the smell of the wood fires burning, that, for me, lets me know that autumn is here. I agree with Shadowx, it is a time of change for me, too. After Samhain, for me, everything slows. But before Samhain, I have an autumn rush!

I love Autumn as well (:
The changing of the trees, all the colors are beautiful. The smell in the air is wonderful. Also because of Halloween & my Birthday is coming up soon.
I really just love everything about this season. It's my favorite time of year.

I absolutely love autumn. Especially when you can spell the wood stoves going. It always takes me away to my grandparents camp. It has become a peaceful time spiritually for me.

.xAlyssa...It does have its own smell. Or at least I think so. Its very crisp clear and fresh.

I love fall, especially since moving to Oregon. Having lived in Florida and California where it goes from Summer to Winter with no real in between its nice to have that subtle change in the leaves and in the temperature.

In West Texas, Fall does not have the same glory as it does in other places but it is beautiful. Snakes born at the end of the breeding season are fininshing thier first shed and filling their bellies and seeking their holes. The hummingbirds are now gone. Clouds have returned to El Paso, and there is a bit more of a chance of rain to bless the land before winter.

Personally I love the fashions of a cooler season, layered and dark. Though my favorite season is winter.

Animal? Plant? Dessert Quail, other small land birds and Pine.

Autum to me is a time of change, of kind warmth. It is warm but not not harshly so as summer is. Things are moving from summer and getting ready for the slumber of winter. When I think of it I think of golden apples, pumpkins, and cinnamon. I also think it's a time where everything seems just a bit more connected, like everything is making a big touch down while getting ready for the large shift from summer to winter. It reminds me of how a snake sheds its skin..

[JBRaven]

I love both of use think of shedding snakes, Lost_Demise. I know it is a bit odd to associate a season with shedding snakes but oh well/

[Lost_Demise]

But is it so odd for us to do so? After all the shedding helps it grow, keeps parasites off, and many cultures associated the skin shedding of snakes with rebirth. In a sense it is like the seasons are being born again much like a snake sheds its skin. I hope that made sense to you JBRaven~

I love Autumn, I just don't care much for cold. I love to watch the leaves change color, drinking apple cider or some hot tea/coco. Aw heck I even like the build up to the first snow.

[JBRaven]

No the snake part I get. I just thought of us two being the only ones who named it as odd. And the idea that it is one of the first things that popped into my mind.

[Lost_Demise]

Ahh alright. That makes sense XD Well it's not that odd only two people thought of it, people see things different ways usually~
