8 Things I Love About Fall in the Pacific Northwest

1) Exploring

and finding amazing stuff!

2) Plants covered in water drops

take on a magical quality that continues to blow me away.

3) Rain

I bike to school in frigid drizzles and hate them just as much as you. What I love are surreal monsoon-level storms.

4) Icy Cold Creeks

I’m weird on this one. Crystal clear, just barely above freezing…  mmm good!

5) Erosion

I know this isn’t always a positive thing ecologically, but there is something spectacular about seeing familiar spaces completely transformed.

6) Cozy Times with Family

just aren’t as special when there’s not a tempest outside.

7) Psychedelic Leaves

Despite decades of being an icon, they still aren’t cliché.

8) That Liz Likes Fall Too!

And that she is awesome.
