Autumn is so beautiful here, the trees all change to reds, yellow and gold. There is snow on the high mountains and the seascapes are wonderful. We had three rainbows at once last week. This this a great time of year where you live? I know some of you are in Spring instead of Autumn which is just as nice.

Hi, Pat!
I'd love to see those changes in person some day. We're still well into the 90s in Miami, with the heat breaking records!

We pray for the lower 70s, but that doesn't happen every year. Once in a great while, it'll go down to the 50s, but that dissipates as soon as the sun rises.

Here is also now autumn. But our autumn is not like yours. Our country is in the tropical zone. Now weather is not hot. Mild weather, that means not so hot or not so cold. The sky is clear. Some white clouds are moving in the sky.The ducks from Siberia have began to come in our marshy lands. Really now the whole atmosphere and the nature is charming.

We saw the trees change practically as we watched them this week. It is just as you say a glowing time of year. Not every autumn is this good, but this year is exceptional.

Here we only have summer and rainy days. But I here spring or autumn is the most beautiful time of the year there. Here for me the best time of the year is December. Not too cold and not too hot and it doesn't rain too much. Have you heard about the recent storm that flooded a lot of places here in the Philippines? Arrgh, it was terrible.

Sounds beautiful where you are right now. The trees are changing here too. They are a lot more brilliant this year than the past couple. We were in a drought but the rain this year has made up for it and the trees are changing to brilliant colors. I took a drive through the mountains a couple of weeks ago but they hadn't changed as much as I thought they would have. They'll be perfect this weekend.

It does like nice but I do still prefer the Spring and Summer, it is actually still quite warm here for October which is amazing so I hope our Winter will not be as bad as last year
I love Snow we hardly get it now but when we do I will sit and watch it come down and I love it when everything turns white

The trees are starting to glow around here too. The picture below was taken 3 weeks ago, while I was doing some geological research. Of course, the next day it started to rain and in two days it was snowing heavily, so I had to retreat... The show didn't fall for more than a few days, and the autumn is back to usual.

It's true I love four seasons but I can also find the appeal of fresh local fruit all year and the wonderful flowers and green available any time you look out your windows. The land I couldn't live in is snow country I could not stand the cold for most of the year. So count your blessings and travel when you can.

Wow, 3 rainbows at once!! I've seen two but never 3!
I'm in Ohio and it is gorgeous here. I love to watch the leaves flutter down or fly with the wind. My two trees in front look very strange because one has turned and the other is still green!

One fall day, when we lived on the desert we had a hard frost before the leaves were off the trees and we just sat in our room and watched as the sun thawed the trees they lost every leaf, it was very dramatic and we lived there a long time and never saw it again. I love nature.

The trees that glow in Trinidad are the poui trees. They shower a rain of pink or red or orange petals on the ground around them and if they are near a house they cover the building with their petals. There should be poui trees planted everywhere in Trinidad. Then this country will glow every poui season and people from all over the world would come here to enjoy the joy of the colour of these magnificent trees.

We are in Spring here and things are just starting to bloom nicely although the seasons have been late this year; it is still chilly for the time of year although we’ve had a couple of warm days; I should make the most of it because I’m sure I’ll be complaining about the heat soon!

Wow, I want to see all those things one time.
Hi! I am from the Philippines, and I think you have an idea of how things are here now. Still, we are here...standing still... :)
You have a dreamy place there. I kind of like imagining how autumn looks (we don't have one here, and it looks so nice from the online photos). I want to see how beautiful nature is, and it somewhat makes me strong. It makes me want to fight harder, so that one day I finally will see autumn.

Well there is always a down side, we have a lot of clean up work and other outside chores to get ready for the real cold. We have to wear a lot of cloths because as pretty as it is it's windy and cold for working outside. So enjoy what you have now and set you goal to visit Autumn.
