Autumn aromas


It is the end of October.
The second month of autumn has passed. Only November is left. We are officially heading into the winter season.
I continue to use my bicycle as my main transportation vehicle, as normal. I won't stop riding my bicycle no matter what. It is something that I really like. Despite the crisp air and the lower temperatures, riding a bicycle during fall season feels different but nice.
Yes, deciduous trees are starting to loose their leaves and nature starts to wear its warmer colors, however if you notice more carefully, you will see that due to the rain's water, other plants are in their period of growth. 


During summer, I remember myself riding among yellow fields, but now, I see vibrant colors of green appearing on these fields.
And it is not only the color that is changing, along with the appearing of green, wonderful scents of all kinds start to fill the air, too.


These little plants have a distinctive smell of freshness. 


On the other hand, these little yellow flowers smell really sweet, and bees seem to really like them, as if I stop riding my bicycle, I hear them buzz all around. 


Arugula is also in its exaltation. You see it grow everywhere and every time the wind blows, its sharp and peppery smell fills the whole air!


Last but not least, I should not forget to mention these little mauve flowers. Those do not have a scent, but they're popping everywhere around, making the surroundings look more beautiful. 


Because we are in the autumn, everyone seems to pay attention only on the falling leaves and the brown colors, but if you start to observe more carefully, you will notice those little plants and how they become greener and greener with every passing rain. By being on a bicycle, which is keeping me outside for longer, I have the opportunity to notice the nearby landscapes and smell all the wonderful autumn aromas.

Those little plants deserve our admiration, as they complete the scenery's look by making it diverse, bright and less boring!
