As Sam steered his bike over the endlessly twisting road that followed the coast, he marveled at the changes he saw in everything around him. It was definitely autumn now. The air was drier than he’d remembered it; warm and faintly spicy. And the sky was a different shade of blue, like soft, faded denim with fuzzy, frayed patches of cloud. Leaves of yellow and gold and bright bursts of cherry red glowed on branches above his head and every tiny town he passed through now boasted a pumpkin patch or a costume store. It was hard to believe so much could have changed in only two weeks.

Wow, you captured Fall really, really well. What a great scene!
I love poetic descriptions.. I saw everything as you described it.
Oh, I love autumn. Vivid.
What a lovely descriptive snippet. I could even smell the leaves. Good job!
I agree Lisa...felt as if I were there viewing the day...great excerpt
Wow. You make me realize that I have *zero* description in my stories...and what is there isn't nearly as lovely.
I'm on the coast of Cali too (Southern). Staring out my window at gloomy skies and drizzle while wondering what happened to our sun.
Love your bit here, it makes me long for the change of fall where colors are so vivid. I could totally picture the tiny towns all decked out for the season, too.
Your excerpt is very descriptive. Thanks for sharing.
You painted a perfect portrait of fall. My favorite time of year. :)
I agree with everyone...great picture!
Wow, you have a great way with description. I could really see it.
I could smell, taste and feel it all. What a wonderful description.
