Autumn paints the trees in shades of red, orange, and gold. The air becomes crisp and cool as summer fades away. Leaves crunch underfoot during long walks in the park. People wear cozy sweaters and sip warm drinks by the window. Pumpkins and apple cider appear at markets and festivals. Migrating birds fly south in orderly V-formations. Rainy afternoons invite reading books and lighting candles. Shorter days bring earlier sunsets and soft golden light. Farmers harvest the last crops and prepare fields for winter. Autumn is a time of change, reflection, and quiet beauty.
