Early Arrival Of Autumn
Always though that the maples leaf will only change color in the autumn. But the April in Annapurna, the maple trees already started to turn into yellow and red color. In the rain, the morning sun light, under the blue sky, or in the green forest, the maple leaf had brought in the scenery and coolness of autumn. In a hot summer like this, it made us felt more cooling and relaxing during the trekking.

How come the winter is here too? Yes, we experienced a four seasons in Annapurna. At about 1000m, the weather is cool and nice just like the spring time. But in some day, the hot sun or the heavy storm had brought us to summer time. When reached the 2000m, the chilly temperature had changed it to autumn time. Up in the 3700m at the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, one night of snowing had put us in the winter! The picture on the left is just like a winter scenery.

　
In fact, not only the maples leaf will bring color to the forest. There are many others plants and trees providing the interesting scenery too. This are two typical examples, a tree with an orange leafs and a branch with white flowers.
