i ache for fall. for the leaves changing. finally being able to slip into a jacket, only to shed it like a second skin as the temperature rises with the sun. leaves crunching underfoot, seeing your breath in the early morning air. jack-o-lanterns and children dressed as ghouls and superheroes. corn mazes and finally getting into a pattern at school.

even the sky's different in fall. it seems bluer. deeper. colder. as if you were about to dive into the ocean.

I can't wait to get home and out of the horrible Florida sun. Not to mention that autumn in New England is beautiful. :)

You make me impatient for the changing of seasons as well. I like how autumn smells. And I miss the cold. And sweaters. (Of course I miss sweaters, more layers means my chest is less obvious. >_>;) I also miss my school friends and drama club.

Me too

Fall and spring are my two favorite seasons, and I look forward to both every year. Recently I relocated, and my camera is ready to capture the changing seasons thanks to the surprising number of trees that are in my little pocket of the city.

I always think I'm getting a tiny glimpse of something larger, which reinforces the feeling of a disconnect from nature and the rest of the non-human world. This feeling is heightened during fall for all the reasons you described above and more, but at the same time I am simply dazzled by the slice of what I do perceive and experience. Its powerful.
