The trees are dressed in their richest autumn colors, casting glorious landscapes. Walking through the rustling leaves feels like treading on desert sand. It is a tranquil season to enjoy the splendor of green fields and clear air on pleasant autumn days. As the winds wrap up the harvest, the last swallows fly south for winter and new birds like crows and woodcocks arrive to nest and sing, while a few butterflies still take advantage of late meadow flowers on warm walls in the sun's glow.
