"Autumn" - comment by Leonardo da Vinci "NOTEBOOKS"

In the autumn

you will make things

according to the progress

of the season, that is, 

the trees begin to fade in

their leaves on the oldest

branches, more or less,

depending on whether the

tree is represented as

growing on sterile or

fertile soil, and even more

pale and reddish those

kinds of tree that were first

to produce fruit. (p. 170,

Oxford World's Classic 

edition).
