No worse than others, if not better: why is it worth loving autumn? (3 photos)

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. And autumn is good, attractive and even somewhat fabulous, despite the bad weather and decreasing daylight hours.

Why autumn – truly a wonderful time of year?





1.     Weather. And the sun, and the foggy coolness, and the calming rain – it's all autumn. All this is freshness, clear air and comfort, which is absent neither in the summer heat nor in the winter cold.

2.     Multicolor. Although everyone is already pretty tired of photos against the backdrop of autumn parks and mountains of leaves, this does not make them any less beautiful. The warm colors in which autumn, like a talented painter, dresses nature, are not persistent and quickly disappear. Therefore, it is important to have time to enjoy them and stock up on pleasant memories that you can stir up in your memory like a mountain of leaves.

3.     Evenings with a special atmosphere. Emotions are especially acute when there is bad weather outside the window, rain is pouring, branches are knocking on the glass, as if asking them to be let in and share warmth and comfort. Even habitual activities like cooking dinner or watching a movie become special.

4.     Tastes. After the summer heat, when you just want to drink, you can start pampering yourself with special drinks with added spices – cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and more, as well as their various combinations. Such drinks warm you up, give you peace, comfort and taste pleasure.



5.     Harvest time. A wide selection of new harvest vegetables and fruits and the opportunity to recharge with a vitamin cocktail – What could be better?

6.     Walks and communication. Even ordinary walks around the city become more comfortable and allow you to take a fresh look at familiar landscapes. And outside the city, far from the hustle and bustle, autumn nature generally reveals itself in a different way.

7.     Bakery. Apples, nuts, pears, pumpkin – In the fall, the choice of fillings for homemade baked goods is more than varied. And even a beginner can cope with the simplest recipes. It’s especially interesting to create culinary masterpieces with friends and family.

8.     Cozy clothes. Soft sweaters, loose trousers, long skirts, delicate berets, light raincoats and windbreakers – all this, so to speak, is an intermediate option between airy summer outfits and warm multi-layered winter outfits. It seems that in such clothing you can hide from negativity and melancholy and make your world a little more comfortable.



9.     Beauty of nature. We're not even talking about urban or suburban landscapes. The beauty of autumn – light, fleeting, tender can be seen in a raindrop frozen on glass, the reflection of clouds drowned in a puddle, a wedge of flying birds, leaves blown by the wind and more. You just need to look closely.

10.      Changes. Of course, they are not tied to any season. But it is in the fall that any changes in life are felt especially acutely. They can be unexpected, harsh and even unpleasant. But in the end they always lead to the better.

11.      Starry sky and blazing fires. Forays into nature with gatherings around the fire take on a special flavor. After all, the evening and night sky in autumn is special, deep, bottomless, with myriads of lightning stars. And spending time with loved ones around the fire – living fire brings you closer, calms you down and allows you to take a fresh look at yourself, others and the world as a whole.

12.      Waiting for the holidays. Late autumn – October-November – This is the time when you can already start preparing for the New Year. Think about gifts, clothes, Christmas tree decorations and how to spend the main night of the year.

13.     Coolness, giving the opportunity to become closer to each other. And it doesn’t matter at all what you do: work, study, bake pies, pickle cucumbers, create crafts from pine cones, watch TV series, or just be silent, warming your chilled fingers with a cup of cocoa. The main thing is that autumn has come and life goes on.
