What is the best thing about Fall?

The end of the enervating heat and humidity of the summer. I have good resolutions all year round, but in fall I actually have the energy to act on my good intentions.

The lack of humidity and the leftover back to school feeling.

Cooler temperatures and the hiking is a bit more scenic.

Anticipation of future snow days when I can stay home from work.  Well, okay, maybe there is something more to like about fall. The colors of the trees....even though it means death to the leaves. Kinda morbid if you really think about it. Everyone oohs and aahs about the colors and yet they signify death and demise. Still, I like them just as much as the next guy. A cool (not cold) night in front of a fireplace with a good book and good company

The leafs, not having to work in my family's business, resuming week-end parties at Phill and Dave's. The worst thing is saying goodbye to all of my summer friends.

I like the cool, clear blue skies with a few white puffy clouds over head.  The leaves changing to gold, orange, red. The pumpkins out in the fields.

The best thing about fall is the weather is cooler and more tolerable and the beauty of the color in the leaves. But italso makes you know that winter is on it's way.

Fall really feels like transformation. It's dynamic in a way that summer is not. I love this time of year and feel like it is a beginning.

I used to say Football...until this guy at work who tells me the sports scores 20 times a day...not too mention the schedule for all teams, the TV schedules, etc..ad nauseum...now, I would say cool weather, sweaters, and the fact that it isn't summer...(the guy at work who is obsessed with football...is the same guy who asks me everyday...are you keeping yourself clean, safe and sane...and everyday says...I watched the A-Team, Magnum PI, and my Looney Tunes... you are absolutely, positively not surprised I watched my Looney Tunes last night...cue my answer...I am absolutely, positively not surprised by that...

Fall is my favorite season - I love the feel and the smell and the sights. My favorite part is the foliage. We usually take a trip to the mountains at least once to look at the leaves. Even right around the city, I will see beautiful trees and on drives to anywhere I will enjoy looking at the sights.

I don't know. I'll fall for the old hackneyed cliche and say it's the feeling in the air. It is, really, but I don't know how to define that further.

Everything. I love the fall. I love the changing leaves, the cool weather after a long, hot summer...everything.

Hawk migration is great to watch, snow geese gather to fly south, there's not much haze which is good for photo-taking, I can take a stroll and won't come home covered in sweat, autumn foliage is BEAUTIFUL, my favorite colors are the colors of autumn, and crunchy leaves really turn me on.

The colors of the turning leaves...even though it's sad to see summer go!!

The crisp, cool air. The changing leaves. The flower gardens are at their peak in early fall. It's just beautiful.

it's my favorite season by far. . .I think because it inspires in me a sense of reassesment and recommitment to being focussed and directed. . . .making progress, moving forward, feeling the full glory of the complete illusion that my life has any real meaning or purpose. . .(and plus, Hockey season comes back. .)

Fall is my season. I don't know if I could even explain why. It's not cold, not hot, it's beautiful, it smells good, and there's just something in the air. The atmosphere of fall reminds me of good times in autumns past.

The colours of the leaves, cooler temperatures, and the end of 18 hour days.
