FALL-in In Love with Fall

I love fall. I especially love fall in Cache Valley. There's something about a small town this time of year that's magic! Whether it's the leaves crunching beneath your feet as you walk across campus, the orange maple tree tunnel on 2nd East, or the annual pumpkin walk... *sigh*... I'm in love.

And then there's the canyon. Ever since my freshman year when I made my first trip to see the leaves with my roommates, I've been obsessed with it. When September rolls around, I watch eagerly as the red creeps down the mountain side. Timing is everything. If you go too early, all the good picture-taking spots are still green. Going too late is even more of a disaster. Who wants to see all the leaves on the ground? I think we were pretty good this year. I panicked a little bit when we entered the canyon and all I saw was green. But the longer we drove, the better it got. We found the perfect little spot. See for yourself...

Ok, so this one's not "fall-ish." But don't they look cute?

"Hmm... I can't figure out what you guys are so excited about..."

Wow. So pretty!
