I enjoyed my brief visit to Wuhan, China earlier this week. The refreshing crispness of the morning air, coupled with early glimpses of autumn foliage, added to the joy of reuniting with family and friends. I was fortunate that the weather and air quality cooperated during my stay.
What was most delightful was that I didn't have to journey far to experience autumn's beauty; it was right outside my doorstep along the Shunshi River, where residential apartment buildings line the banks. Each morning, I indulged in the visual and auditory delights of nature by strolling along the community park trail beside the river.
The air was invigorating, carrying the promise of fall.
The early foliage painted a vivid tapestry of colors in the landscape.
The melodious symphony of birds filled the atmosphere. Sparrows, magpies, and long-tailed shrikes gracefully danced through the clear blue sky.

Another sure sign of early autumn presented itself at Da Shan Li, near Niushan Lake, where a golden expanse of ripe rice fields stretched out before me. The sight of these golden grains transported me back to the distant memories of my childhood, visiting my grandfather in the countryside. Nostalgia washed over me like a gentle tide. I couldn't resist the urge to walk into the field, running my fingers through the rice ears, and capturing the breathtaking aerial view with a drone from above.
Amidst this serenity, I found comfort in the changing seasons, a reminder of the enduring circle of life.
