Summary/Abstract: In the analysis the article refers to the cognitive methodology and linguistic world image. On the basis of examples from authentic and creative texts on seasons written by children, the article shows the way the time of seasons is conceptualized. It points to the relations between the very conceptualization with colloquial perspectives of time as the road, lengthening and shortening given seasons depending on the point of observation and the usage of simple linguistic means speeding the time of expected events.
