This is gorgeous. I love the sounds of autumn. The crunching of leaves, wind through the leaves still clinging to their branches, rain (lots of it here in BC) teeming down, hissing as I fall asleep or wake
My favorite is the wind through tree branches at any time of year. I've always imagined the trees whispering to me and that I could understand if only I listened aluttle harder.
I'm a big fan of taking hikes in the fall. The sounds of the leaves crunching underfoot. The smell of decay that leads eventually to renewal. The crisp air that lends a certain blue gray tinge to all the colors. All remind you of our mortal coil and how precious the cycle of life is.
I had to look up the Gambel's Quail call since I'd never head it before. As soon as it started my dog started barking, I guess he doesn't like bird calls from birds he's never encountered. Haha. I love getting to learn more about Arizona from you on your posts and from your responses to mine. This feels like the kinds of things the internet was supposed to foster!
I love the sound of streams/rivers, especially in the forest. It’s so peaceful!
Totally relatable! Here’s one from 8YO me:

What a great post, Jason! The illustration is beautiful. My favorite nature sound is the call of the Gambel’s Quail, beloved in Arizona.

Agree with you re: the internet, and how fun that you looked up the quails' call. I hope to share more about Arizona in 2023.
