перевод: Золотая осень
Золотая осень — это, без преувеличения, самая красивая пора в году. В это время природа вокруг преображается, приобретая совершенно сказочный облик. Кажется, словно кто-то покрасил деревья волшебной кистью в удивительно яркие сочные оттенки желтого, багрового, оранжевого и коричневого цвета. И вот в небе выглядывает солнце, и в его лучах листья словно оживают, начиная блестеть поистине золотым цветом.
