Mosaic leaves' carpet

Russian musicians, poets, writers and artists have been getting inspired from ‘Golden Autumn’ for centuries. The adjective ‘golden’ collocates with the notion of autumn due to the bright yellow, orange and red colours of deciduous trees. The autumn fall of the leaves looks like a golden rain, the leaves under your feet remind you about a mosaic carpet. Such a ‘golden’ time lasts from the end of August up to the middle or end of October. The so-called Indian summer, or ‘Babie leto’ in Russian, might happen once or twice during autumn. Warm and sunny days cause joy and an exultant mood. Though autumn is a pleasant time for fits of mental illnesses but that’s another long story :)

Eatable 'mushroom-model'
|
Autumn is opportune not only for catching the flu but also for gathering mushrooms. There are plenty of eatable and uneatable mushrooms in the woods. Be careful, if one of them attracts you by its lovely red cap it means it is as dangerous as an insidious slayer. However, it does not mean they are unsuccessful photo models.
