Stark Raving for Fall

by samantha on November 2, 2008

Fall has always been my favourite season. Though it signifies death, deterioration, cold and hardness I find it rejuvenating – a fresh start. Maybe it’s the beginning of the school season which indicates freshness and newness of brand new outfits; new, clean, and organized books; new pens and pencils, un-chewed with full bright pink erasers intact – I associate fall with new.

The sun seems brighter, the colours more bold.

Crisp.

Perfect mix of colour, so vibrant and captivating.

Spring and summer months should share the same colours that fall brings. Though, bare branches can still be just as enchanting.

What’s your favourite season?

Great shots. I managed to get a few but the window of opportunity is so small. I need to get out this week before the storms come in and blow all the leaves off the trees.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – you have a great photographic eye. I love your pictures!

Fall is my favourite season too, for these reasons.

I’m with you…I feel so much happier in the fall, sounds weird, but it’s true.

These are really beautiful shots, Sam.

If I’m honest I’ll say I love fall best, but it’s tampered with the dread of an impending Wisconsin winter…. but these pictures remind me how much I love right now.

Beautiful pictures! I would have to go with Spring and Fall. I like the temps better. Not too hot or too cold.

It’s my favorite time of year and I truly wonder if it has to do with being born into that season, greeting the world in that season, coming to life during a time of reflection, tradition and festivity… as you stated Back-to-School, moving the days and activities inside, harvest, halloween, Thanksgiving, family and foods, and preparation for Christmas and New Year’s… all signify fall for me.

But California has ben in a state of perpetual summer!!! October was the hottest month since 1877!!!! Over 8 days of 32+ weather!!! November still had a few of those days and December is barely beginning to cool off.

As for death, deterioration and hardness–no! It’s a time for shedding, pulling in, reflecting, recharging, tradition… so that when the cold and darkness of winter finally pass we can start anew. Fall is our second chance, our rebirth so to speak… it’s crawling back into the womb to comfort and strengthen ourselves, to emerge like the butterfly–anew, refreshed, brilliant, and alive!
