The Autumn brings with it a golden opportunity to explore the joys of nature. Just take a look around you at the colors of Autumn and the world is filled with a golden blaze of color variation and possibilities not offered by any other season. The gift of nature given to mankind unwraps a host of opportunities for the family to get together and discover.

Walking in the woods during the Autumn period provides a unique opportunity to discover nature, and to collect those fallen leaves which can be used for home crafting or just looking beneath the greenery to the skeletons of leaves themselves for the sake of discovery. The rich harvest of leaves offer great natural patterns which can be used for card-making, bringing your family into not only seeing the wonders of nature, but creating pictures or designs using the natural elements found on the forest floor.

Breathe in the Autumnal air, stroll through woodlands and discover under each tree a new element exposed by the changing of the season. Taking a basket into the woodlands, have competitions with children and adults alike to see who can find the best and most useful treasure trove. Take a camera and capture the falling of a leaf as if stopping a moment in time, and appreciating seasonal changes.

The forest offers so much reward, getting human beings back to the roots of nature and acclimatizing them for the winter which lies ahead. Kick the piles of leaves to uncover those hidden within the safety net of newly fallen golden opportunity, and appreciate the natural elements of progressive changes brought about by seasons.

The picnic may be chilly, though a hot flask of soup is a welcome relief to walkers, accompanied by fresh bread. Making an outing such as this a family affair allows all ages to join together in celebration of Autumn, each finding their share of golden wealth, which would otherwise lie undiscovered on the forest floor.

With boots to protect the feet, and suitable warm clothing, that Autumnal outing can become a treasured time to get together and be thankful for all that nature offers. It's invigorating to feel at one with the seasonal freshness. Awakening the spirit and mind, Autumn allows you to take home the bounty of gold and amber treasure to remind you of days spent together with nature and family. Autumn offers the re-establishment of vitality and an inspirational opportunity to be enchanted by the natural changes of season, ambiance and renewal or spiritual awareness.
