Autumn Approacheth

[monkeybard]

It feels like fall today.  Overcast skies, temperature around 60ish (Well it was earlier, now its gotten up to 70 and I'm a little annoyed, but at least the sky is still gray.), detritus falling from the damned horsechestnut tree...  I love autumn.  It's my favourite season of the year, which is a little funny because many of my favourite things actually take place in the summer.  Things like outdoor theatre, long hours of daylight, blackberries, baseball, and barbecues.  But along with those lovelies comes the interminable days of direct sunshine and the heat and, worst of all, the limited rainfall.  You know what the perfect season would be? An autumn where the sun rises around 7ish and doesn't set until 10:00.  That'd be spiffy.  But, Earth's axis being what it is (and we're glad it is what it is, thank you, Moon) and its orbit being where it is (and that's okay, too) that ain't happening.  So I'll happily take what I get.  Cooler weather, overcast skies, rain, rain, rain, short days and long nights, the damned tree (but in all fairness it drops crap from March to November), more rain, dark evenings that are great for candlelight and a fire in the fireplace, cozy snuggles with the kitty, more gray skies, more cooler weather...  (Do you sense a theme?  ;) )

Hmm...  I have a spring icon, a summer icon, a winter solstice icon.  Wherefore do I lack an autumnal icon?  I need to remedy that.  ::off to search for appropriate pics...::

I found some nic pics, but nothing I could use for iconage. I'll keep looking. Glad you found some for your purposes. :)
