The leaves, in drifts on the ground, are all brown and dry.
The days are shorter and the nights are chill.
The Great Square of Pegasus is overhead.
And I can smell the autumn.

The night sky is becoming more lovely as time passes. Why is it the coldest months have the best stars?
The skies are generally more transparent in the winter because the cold temperatures remove a lot of the moisture from the air and, at lower levels, trees aren't transpiring into the atmosphere making haze. Actually, if it weren't for the less transparent skies in these northern-temperate areas, I like summer's stars the best with the Milky Way right overhead. — JG
