The Legend of The Fall - So Beautiful!

Of all the seasons, the fall may be the one most inspiring to poets. Even more than the vibrant green and other colors of spring, the season of Autumn blazes with gold, red, yellow and orange, which it generously bestows on the world in rains of leaves. This is the final splash of color before winter dresses nature in white, and we are often stunned by its sheer beauty. This is the best time to go for a stroll in the red and gold forest.

There is nothing that says Autumn more than a road covered in red leaves.
