A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made. The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds, no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air.

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

Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.

When the bold branches
Bid farewell to rainbow leaves -
Welcome wool sweaters.

Unless a tree has borne blossoms in spring, you will vainly look for fruit on it in autumn.

—Walter Scott
