Autumn sunsets are oftentimes the best, are they not? The colors of the sun blend effortlessly with the vibrant foliage and the dry grasses. Evening walks are illuminated with light that doesn't quite seem real or should exist only in dreams... or in poetry. As for a well-thought out line of prose, I cannot help but share again this favorite of mine by Nathaniel Hawthorne: "There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October."

How perfect a declaration! It echos in my thoughts all month long. October is generous in the joy it gives, from the chill at the tip of my nose to the sensation of cold grass squished beneath my stockinged feet. Which, silly as it sounds, feels pretty good. However, when you're suddenly blasted by a gust of wind at the same time, shivering and laughter will ensue and sometimes it's even captured on camera (as evidenced in a photo above). Oh, October :)
