Even though Autumn's only recently begun, it definitely feels like Autumn already, it started to before it officially begun. We had a lot of rainy days last week. This week's sunnier, but not hot like Summer was. Autumn is my favorite season!
I already posted in this thread, but I had to come back to post this. A while ago someone posted this image on the Arena, I can't remember which thread or who posted it. But it perfectly illustrates how I always feel when summer is finally coming to an end. :mrgreen:

I was in England and France last year for Autumn, and I loved it! So pretty with all the fall colours. At home we don't have many plants that turn gradually, they either just drop everything quickly, or they don't change at all! Spring is beautiful here though - Jacarandas. They're like the Australian version of cherry blossoms, it's like purple clouds, and then they fall like a purple blanket over everything. So pretty, I adore them. I'd love to see Japan though, it's on my list!
It;s officially Autumn now here.You have not experienced a North Dakota winter then! Rated as one of the coldest places in the world, depending on what magazine you ask anyway. -40 degrees F with wind chill is common, in fact it starts to feel warm when it gets back up above zero, and for some people, anything above freezing is t-shirt weather.
I hate autumn. Anyone who loves Autumn really needs more experience of a british November. I also go into mental hibernation when the clocks go back at the end of october. The colours right now are nice and London is warmer in general, but when November comes...brr.
November and January are my two most hated months. If it were crisp and cold, fine, but all the grey , rain and damp is not...nice...
Spring on the other hand, though a long way away, is my favourite season. Though next spring wil take some beating after spending the first half of last spring in Kyoto. And in fact, Japan is colourful even in the Winter...
Summer in the UK is a bit of a running joke, though we get occasional hot patchs we don't get mad long months of heat so I can deal with UK summer, usually. And I prefer it in general to what autumn turns into, even though the leaves in Sept/Oct are pretty.

We did October through to early Nov. I loved that cold snap at the end, all the pretty frost, although the rain sucked. Cold I can abide, but wet and cold, no thanks! We only get that prettiness mid-winter here, such a short time when everything glistens, and the frozen grass crunches under your feet. We'd walk along the Thames just on dusk as the lights came on, so lovely! But I adore the cold - a lot of Aussies do given some days it's so hot here mid-summer your nose starts to bleed!I was in England and France last year for Autumn, and I loved it!

..That must have been October. Not November! November ruins any sense of autumn spirit for me. Aside bonfire night, where we burn effigies and send up fireworks, (and my sister's birthday, according to her), November is an entirely horrible month.
