What's your favorite season and why?

[Brickjectivity]

If I am in the suburbs or in the city: Spring. Beautiful, dry, warm weather with cool breezes and occasional rain. Its bright and colorful.

If I am out in the country: Autumn. The ticks don't attack. There are beautiful hikes in the woods, because the growth is dormant. It good weather for working outdoors, and there are rain days when you can slack off.

Late spring in June is best.
But this is only cuz it's like summer, which is the best.
Long days
Warm
Sunny
Engine shows
Verdant grounds in full boom.

Definitely autumn. When I was young, I could hardly wait to go back to school. Especially from grade 8 on, when I went to a boy's boarding school and didn't have to live with foster parents. I also love when the air begins to turn crisp and the colours appear. Camping in September is just the very, very best.

And if anybody goes THERE ^^^^, they're in big trouble.

The beginning or end of summer are probably best for sailing, and winter is the best for walking in the hills or mountains, where one can play with one's toys, such as ice axe and crampons, and where fewer people are about. Probably the best photography too in winter. Caving is done year round though.

Oh god... The Ghostbusters 2 reference.

On a mountain of skulls, in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood. What was will be again, what is will be no more: now is a season of evil.

God I loved these movies

What sort of sailing do you do?

My preference has shifted over time. When I was younger, any season other than spring and autumn were good. But that was because I was so allergic that those two seasons made me feel miserable. I still often have problems in autumn, but for several years I could expect emergency room visits every spring and fall.

Now days, I like the renewal of spring.

Winter in Newquay.

Very elemental! I live on the East Coast of England, the prevailing wind here is offshore, so we don't often get large waves.

Summer.

I live in England. Pretty sure that's reason enough.

The English summers are getting too hot for me. I do a lot of hiking, and spring and autumn are more comfortable for that.

I've heard about this thing called summer, but it has yet to visit London this year.


Except in the form of long light evenings. Even cloudy ones of them are beautiful.

What's your favorite season, and why are you so wrong if it's not autumn?

I love everything about autumn: Halloween is a season for me (the entire month of October), I like food on Thanksgiving, I like the first cool touch of autumnal air that brings out hoodie season (or better yet, hoodie-optional season where you can go out in a blouse but keep a hoodie nearby, perfect weather). I like the rustling of leaves and the deciduous trees changing colors and going bare. Though I abhor winter I like the holidays with friends, my chosen family; and autumn is the harbinger of their approach. (Winter is dumb because you get past Christmas and what do you have to look for? Nothing but misery for months).

(Also seeing peoples' responses from other parts of the world will be fascinating here too)

Increasingly I struggle to answer this, being at risk of ending up like Sir Galahad: "Summer..... No, I mean Spring AAHHHIIIIEEeeeeeee........."

I used to hate autumn but now I rather like the change of the year, the arrival of apples and nuts, the smell of the first frost, and, in normal years, the new season of singing. Spring is always a pleasure, seeing the plants coming back to life one by one. And in summer I can wear a polo shirt, sit in the garden and enjoy the flowers.

Which leaves winter. I struggle to find much good to say about winter except that our habitual skiing holiday enables us to get some sun in spite of it all. And I do quite enjoy Christmas.

Autumn is winning! Hurrah!

What sort of sailing do you do?

More did than do. I started off dinghy sailing (Merlin Rocket), with some racing at a local club. Then progressed to crewing for club members on various yachts, again often whilst racing, and eventually started chartering yachts in Scotland for holidays with some friends. Eventually bought a 30' yacht, which spent more time at its mooring than doing any sailing. Still, we had some of our best adventures on the Scottish holidays. Not active at all now.

Autumn, of course.

I should just say the season of the witch.

Crewing on yachts is fun, I did a little bit down in Essex. And sailing on Scottish waters must have been fantastic.
I'm an ex dinghy sailor, mostly Fireball and Laser.

My witchy friends are celebrating Lammas at the moment.

Winter. Shorter days. Less time to look at people

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

I picked autumn, but in my calendar (based as it is in the central mid-latitudes in the middle of a continent) there are 8 seasons:

Spring
Sprung
Summer
Simmer
Fall
Fell
Winter
Wonder (when Winter's going to end)

These are kind of a combination of astronomical and meteorological seasons, the beginning and endings of which vary from year to year...

I like the end of simmer, fall, and the first part of fell...Not sure why I like the autumn, but always have; the things I like about it are many of the ones others have noted already.

Seasons in the abyss.
But other than that it's winter because here it's pretty much just a super long fall that eventually gives way to spring.
It's also the rainy season here and the skies clear up amd the air quality is consistently better.
