Light hearted but something that I like a lot...

[Chance]

Autumn is my favorite time of year. It's also my favorite time to hit the road even more than I do now, cause I get some freedom. I also try to swing it where I transfer to SoCal and work there in the winter... I hate winter here... high winds, dry, some snow (usually a couple of blizzards), ridiculous chill factors... Its not for me, if I can bolt... I'm gone.

Right now here is TX is seems to have lots of signs of a possible early fall. These are usually the dog days of summer... 105 no wind, it sucks... But this years seems different. Already a few signs of yellowing leaves cool, foggy rainy...

I would just like to know what peoples favorite seasons are, and what they look like...

We are expecting big storms to come in from Tropical Storm/Hurricane Harvey (he cant seem to make up his mind)... This may be just fooling with my senses, but I smell Fall and I like that smell. When I'm in SoCal its basically same season year round so it isn't very noticeable. In TX its very noticeable, but tomorrow it might be 105 again, who knows.

My favorite season is winter, although we haven't really had what I truly call a winter here in at least five years.

I'm talking about snow on the ground, everything being iced over, and the bone chilling cold.

If I don't have to put on a heavy jacket when I go outside, it's not cold enough for me.

My favourite is Autumn too. I love the colour and the ambience and the relief from the hot weather and all the exciting pickings ones find.

I like all four seasons for various reasons, ... (Ooo, that rhymed )
I think it's the cooler months of Autumn and Winter that I get excited about.

The Autumn can leave me speechless with it's vibrant hues and tones. It's grand finale`, it's last dazzling show of how awesome nature really is before lying dormant.
It's the smell too and the fading light. That crisp, cool smell that signals it's almost time for the winter-woolies (thick, warm jumpers, hats, scarves, gloves, all things snuggly and warm against the elements.)
Sitting in a warm kitchen, a soul nourishing stew bubbling away whilst watching the rain against the glass window as the dusk approaches.
Coming in from outside with a cold nose and cheeks, damp from the rain, straight into a warm home and putting on dry, comfortable clothes.

As for the winter, in England it's generally just kind of grey then dark. (Day and night)
I don't do particularly well during this season however, those mornings that start with the smell of the sharp cold, temperature and watery sunlight, a dusting of frost refracting the sun's light can leave me in awe. Almost hypnotised.
There are also the minus 6 degree winter morning starts. Really early when nobody else is around. It's as if all is suspended in time. Quiet, still, peaceful and eeirily wonderous
Ooo and the Christmas shopping. NOT The actual shopping itself. I have no desire to be jostled and verbally abused by stressed out people inside busy shops. (Thank goodness for internet shopping )
It's the observing. A take away Hot Chocolate to warm my hands, standing out of the way somewhere and people watching with the twinkling lights and decorations against a background of deepest indigo night sky. Mesmerising. (And exciting to think it will soon be Christmas)...

.can I still say the word Christmas?

I love Autumn as well, I am looking very much forward to it I can post some pictures of what the trees look like here during the season as my area becomes a major tourist destination to see the fall foliage.

I'd love to see that @Jet Weiss - only if you get the opportunity and it's not too much trouble

Of course It is not too much trouble for me, I would love to share some pictures We just need to wait until the trees turn orange

Orange...
...and gold, and crimson, and copper and umber and ochre...
I'm really looking forward to it.

I love spring and summer. I need sunshine and warmth because I tend to feel chilled. I dread when Fall nears because where it means long, dark and bone chillingly cold days.
I agree with you, Chance. I live in the Midwest and we definitely have the feel autumn. I do like one thing about Fall, it is also the start of Football season! Woo hoo!

 

[Judge]

I have to admit, I've always had an affinity for summer unlike any other season. Though I also enjoy being indoors in a warm place looking out a window as the snow falls.

I'm just grateful to live somewhere where the four seasons are relatively pronounced. Something I never experienced in California.

 

[Judge]

That's the way it was when I lived in Florida. It went from hot to cool and back to hot. Alabama isn't much different, though it does snow here on occasion and we have a "mini autumn." It's not dramatic; the leaves change, fall off, end of statement.

"Dramatic". That's what we have in the high desert. Where all seasons can be quite defined, yet be unexpectedly short or long from one year to the next. "Expect the unexpected".

 

[Judge]

Based on what you've been telling me, I would say so! And I thought Alabama weather was odd and unpredictable.

Well, y'all have tornadoes and hurricanes. We just have fires and flash floods seasonally and earthquakes on occasion.

 

[WittyAspie]

I am alright with any season as long as it isn't hot. West/central Texas had a relatively mild day today. It was a bit humid, but the temperature didn't climb like usual. It's supposed to go below 70 tonight, which is odd for August, but I'm not complaining.

I have lived in Monterey, CA a couple times. The first time I couldn't stand the lack of seasons. The second time I loved it. I guess it's because the second time around I was coming from upstate NY. Experiencing the winter there made me ok with not experiencing seasons.

 

[SusanLR]

Autumn. Even though I'm in Florida where there aren't the four seasons really. There are still differences though, the flora just doesn't show much difference.
Spring can be dry or wet. You never know. Still it's not bad.
Summer is too hot with daily thunderstorms and the hurricane season. Can't really plan the day outside.
That's where I look forward to Autumn. Temperatures start to cool. Storms stop. Hurricane season comes to an end. Autumn into Winter is the best time to be outside or going places where you will be outside. It was 96 today here...one more month should start getting cooler.

Autumn has the least bad effects so I love it.
Spring: Sneezing from smells central
summer: Burning to a crisp
Winter: Becoming an ice pop
Autumn: Some leaves fall

Spring would be my close second though.

LOL. I get that. I once knew a fellow employee who lived in Buffalo New York. Where for winter you pack survival gear in your trunk. Yeah, there's "winter" and then again there's "WINTER".

Actually the winters in Virginia make Nevada look pretty tame. But that's another reason I like it here. Winter is pronounced here as is summer, but neither is anywhere near as harsh as back east. I get four seasons each year without paying too high a price, except perhaps for the fire danger from June to October.

Monterey? I sure enjoyed visiting the aquarium.

 

[Streetwise]

here in n.e England its like 3 seasons in a day now torrential rain or burning sun or cool, then september slightly cooler ,rarely snow for more than a week,very cold in december to april.
i like cool wouldnt want to be burned.
Trees have dropped leaves for months !!!!!!!

Tough choice, burned up or blown away. We get flash floods here; I'm not sure about earthquakes, as I don't recall any since I've been here. Had a couple when I lived in Cleveland. Who would have though that.

 

[JDartistic]

Spring is my fav cuz it's hopeful. Summer on the Bay cuz it's vacation everyday, plus boating.

I like the CLOTHES of Fall & Winter, though. LOL I enjoy wearing leather jackets & trench coats...& my fav holiday is Xmas & New Years Eve, so that helps me weather the cold. But Spring is my fav. Luv seeing nature bloom.

PS I like having all four seasons, cuz it makes u appreciate the coming of Spring!

Autumn! I live in New England. The crisp air, the brilliant polychrome foliage, the fresh apples and pumpkins at farm stands.

The smell of woodsmoke from people's chimneys. The crunch of colorful confetti leaves on my walks.

Woolybear caterpillars scooting along the grass to catch any of the warm sunshine. Birds getting busy at my bird feeder, as their seed switches to black oil sunflower, safflower, and nuts rich in fats.

The first soups of the season--usually a rich, savory homemade chicken soup from my neighbors, or maybe Portuguese kale soup with chorizo. Best of all, I make homemade spiced pumpkin soup, and deliver it to my neighbors.

My dog brings the scent of the cold in with him, nestled in his coat. His fur changes to a heavier, denser, darker, dire wolf pelt.

Kids in school, I like that. It feels good.

Hot cocoa! Favorite comfy jacket and warm woolen hat.
Walking and walking.... such an invigorating, healing pleasure with the summer's heat gone!

My town is an "orange town" in the autumn, due to its many brilliant maples.
