Autumn

I'm collecting these seasonal books published by the wildlife trusts as they contain some lovely poetry and prose extracts, both old and new.

" Autumn is an adventure, a season of transformation, and a time to prepare for the long Winter ahead.It is a thousand leaves falling to the ground and nourishing the soil beneath; it is heavy rainfalls which catch you off guard and drive you to shelter; it is the refreshing winds that sweep the haze of Summer away; it is the calm before the storm........Autumn isn't the season of decay or death, but one of wealth and renewal. It is the changing landscape, the subtle anticipation of Winter. Autumn is to be enjoyed."
