Part I
秋葉 Autumn leaves
將滿山遍野染成一片橙黃橘紅
北美溫帶落葉林許多樹木到秋季樹葉轉色或黃或紅，一時之間滿山遍野澄黃橘紅艶麗奪目
The spectacular sight of the temperate deciduous forest, covered the autumn hills and fields with red, orange and yellow
銀杏樹 Ginkgo Trees
銀杏葉片轉黃時風中飄搖墜落的景象令人驚艶
Ginkgo trees planted in clusters could be a wondrous sight when a sudden gust wind blew through in late fall. Yet we have yet to witness the kind of phenomenon in Northern California

Fruits of your labor
深秋熟成之果實還有無花果
全家老少一同來摘果可以是一種很好的親子活動
Figs in our area ripened in late autumn. Picking figs could be a hard job if you don’t have the right tools to use.
Kids do enjoy picking all kinds of fruits !

The Sound of Autumn
天籟之音 - 秋之奏鳴曲
Music of Nature《Autumn Sonata》
藍天之下數道橫行電線，在秋風的撫彈下奏出美妙的秋天奏鳴曲
Withered branches touching the five lines of the staff
under the blue autumn sky
『秋天的落葉』
一首流傳已久的歌曲
Or, simply a little song 《Autumn leaves》
The falling leaves drift by the windowThe autumn leaves of red and goldI see your lips, the summer kissesThe sun-burned hands I used to hold⋯
Or, even more impressively grand for the occasion
*『群魔亂舞』
By Camille Saint-Saëns
Before autumn bids us goodbye
creatures of all shapes & sizes would venture out in the open. It’s “Dance of the Skeletons”
秋波臨去之前還有一物集體以各種姿態出現
這群妖魔也是晚秋一道風景線
Indeed another interesting sight in the fall to behold
看那紅眼小狗挖出什麼東西來著？
The red eyed dog caught in the company of some scary pieces of bones it dug out （Below)
Skeletons reminiscing about the olden days sitting in front porch with family members；the witch took a day off soaking in the sun with her pet bunnies
髑髏們舉家同享舊日温韾的時光，女巫也休假一天散散心
Happy Halloween to all young and old ！
