SEASONS

We love nature so much as it gives us that change we need: cold winter gives way to charming spring that turns to generous summer and romantic autumn. I like spring. After winter with its nasty drizzle, melting snow, dark gloomy sky spring comes. It gets warmer and warmer every day. The snow thaws and marry streamlets run along there streets. The trees begin to bud and they burst into blossom. I like to see when chestnut trees show their white and rosy candles.

My native town looks especially nice when lilacs and acacias begin to blossom filling the air with that sweet odor which is so well known since my childhood. Fields and meadows, parks and gardens are covered with fresh carpet of spring flowers: tulips, crocuses, narcissi, pianos and lilies-of-the-valley. The air is filled with fragrance and marry twitter of birds. These changes mean the revival of nature for me.

Everything seems nasty and gloomy when it is cold and rainy. But I like warm spring and summer rains, even thunderstorms with lightning. They are usually short. When the warm sunrays touch the fresh foliage and a rainbow appears in the sky I feel happy. The motley fragrance of air may take your breath away. Spring makes us remember elemental things: no matter what we do to pollute this beautiful part of our planet nature is still willing to forgive us and give us another chance.

Summer is a generous time. The hot sun fills our hearts with “glory of the day and banish every doubt, care and sorrow away”. It’s an ideal time for spending your vocations at the seaside or in the woods enjoying the ravishing beauty of nature.

Only freshness and fog in the morning will tell us about the coming of autumn. I prefer early autumn when lawns are still in their attire of summer green. The days are still warm but the sun is soft. The gardens are full of ripe fruits and vegetables. Autumn nature isn’t as carefree as that of summer but it is probably even more delightful. You only have to take a closer look and listen. The bright fire of autumn leaves is whispering its tuneful melody of people’s hopes and anxieties.

Nature gives me that singing hour of peace and quiet I need so much. When I get in touch with nature it is like a breath of ecstasy which fills my heart with expectation of joy and happiness.
