Prepare for Autumn

Among four seasons, I love autumn and spring. Autumn is a season for harvest; and spring is a season for hope. Moreover, the two seasons always have mild weather, which is not hot or cold. And now the hot summer has gone, and the cool autumn is coming. So in this cozy season, I have to choose warm ensemble for myself. I will invite some friends to go shopping and enjoy the fresh air of autumn. If I can buy some satisfying clothes, I'll be happy all the day.

I'd like to have a nice holiday in autumn. My friends and I prepare together for our autumn tour. Every time we will talk about it when we met. I'll tell them what I have prepared or they'll tell me to add some necessary things. I have to write souvenirs that I have to buy during my tour. I feel excited as if this is the first time I plan for my tour. Actually everyone can understand such exciting things. We have to work hard to earn money to support ourselves, but we still feel energic if we can enjoy such a fantastic tour after the hard work. This is not a business tour and its only goal is to relax your weary bodies, so you will be very comfortable. And I like this peaceful and comfy mood.

Besides distinctive souvenirs, I also love to take photos. So a good camera is a necessity. I like to visit new places and find its culture and history. And in the autumn, leaves turn to yellow, and what picturesque scenes! Photos can witness my happy memory forever. I always take picture together with my friends, and it proves our friendship and we can talk about it when we get old.

After this autumn tour, I'll plan for next tour. But I will keep the happy memory of every tour in my life. I think they are more precious than souvenirs. And I'll also cherish the time which spent with my dearest friends. Life is also a tour, and memory makes it unique and unforgettable.

4 Fun Autumn Outdoor Activities

When it comes to outdoor activities, most people think summer is the ideal season. Autumn however, is also a great time to get outside. The temperature isn't too hot and it's a beautiful time of year to be in nature.

1. Hiking:

Hiking is the perfect way to get exercise while enjoying the outdoors, and autumn is a great time to go. It is still warm enough to enjoy a nice long walk, yet cool enough that one doesn't feel exhausted by the heat. Moreover, all of the leaves from the trees are starting to change colour and fall off of their branches. There really isn't anything more stunning then standing at the top of a mountain and looking out onto a valley of colour. Grab a walking stick and go discover unknown trails.

2. Biking:

Weather you're in the mood for a road or mountain bike ride, autumn is the perfect time to go. Catch the end of summer adventure by exploring new trails and paths before the snow starts to fall. While the temperature does give one a little nip first thing in the morning, there is a freshness to the air that will give even the most bronzed cheeks a little bit of rose.

3. Horseback riding:

There is something about the autumn that makes going to the country so appealing. Even the most urban dwellers seem to get in the harvest spirit by the time September comes to an end. During the summer riding horses are taken out all of the time. They are worked hard and put back wet. Moreover, those riding them are bundled up in tall black boots, a helmut, and full-length trousers- talk about sweaty. But in the autumn one can go out and enjoy a gallop. The horse will enjoy being taken out for a ride in the cool air and riders can enjoy the freedom of riding into a new season.

4. Apple picking:

Apple picking tends to be a favourite activity amongst children. I certainly used to love going out with my mother when I was a little girl. We would pick all of the apples that we could find and then bring them home and make chutney, and jam, and apple pie. Another of my favourite activities was going to the neighbours and making homemade apple cider. We would squash the apples under our feet and then put them into a press that would squeeze out all of the juice. Afterwards everyone would get to take home a jug of fresh juice- yum!
