I felt as some of your wording was cliche. "A light smirk reveals itself on my once expresionless face," You're trying too hard make  us see yourself instead of the scenery. "Crisp autumn smells of pumpkin and spice fill my nostrils," I want more imagery of what you're smelling or touching. You take away a great scene by pointing back to yourself and what you're doing. What music are you listening to? What kind of birds are you listening ti? Where's the forest line? Something simple, cause I'd like to be there. Plus your title is a cliche. I can look in a literature book and find the title "Autumn". It's unorigional.
