Rustling vibrant leaves Falling off the tall oak trees Fall rakes the city

Right now, there are at least one hundred different shades of Autumn blanketing the ground here in Central New York. Along with the usual shades of brown, red, yellow and orange, you can also see yellow-green, lime-green, rusted-yellow, golden-yellow, yellow-orange, red-orange, burnt-orange, maroon, mauve, and even pink!

While feasting on the visual beauty of Autumn, its earthy aroma can also lift one’s spirit. A walk through the woods, too, with the crunch of drying leaves beneath your feet, is uniquely satisfying. And on a windy day, as all your hard work of raked-high leaves skitters across the street — oh, dear — imagine the sound of little fairy feet scurrying quickly!
There are so many other ways that Autumn can inspire. For poet, Elizabeth Westfall, ”….I was inspired by the ambience of Autumn. The colors, warmth, and feelings of love and comfort were considered throughout. Autumn is a time to be grateful for those in our lives and for the beauty we get to see in nature every day. Autumn foliage is breathtaking and vibrant, as can be love you feel for someone else. I just wanted to capture the amber tones, visual and emotional, of my favorite season.”

Autumnal colors muted by November greys Time-Life Progression
by Mark Calicchia (2021)
Most recently, we’ve had warm days and startling blue skies highlighting this year’s wonderful Autumn colors. But on those windy and rainy days, moody grey clouds can create an almost somber atmosphere: as the last leaves drift from their branches, Autumn once again reminds us that it will soon be leaving us behind.
