Fall Things

I’m not sure if my memory is simply terrible or my brain puts up a mental block when it comes to the weather of seasons past, but I do NOT remember Vancouver being so gorgeous last October. I remember the sunshine of August being glorious, and the rain of November being pure hell, but in the 7 years I’ve lived in Vancouver I have never noticed the magical changing of the season that is fall. So to pay homage to this beautiful city and season, here are a few fall photos and things:
