Should the names of seasons be capitalized?

Question

When you are writing about the seasons, should you capitalize their names?

For example, would you say:

I love the colors of the leaves in Autumn.

Or should you say:

I love the colors of the leaves in autumn.

The names of seasons should be left uncapitalized. However capitalization may be used to achieve a poetic effect.
