20 Photos That Prove Just How Magical Fall in DC Really Is

Fall foliage is FINALLY here.

The leaves are finally starting to change and we just couldn’t wait to share all of the fall foliage pictures from around Washington! It may not feel like fall (what’s with the weather?!) but it sure is starting to look the part.

How does nature do this? Green one minute, gone the next – and all the leaves fell perfectly onto the path? It actually makes us want to hike. Or, more accurately, just look at pictures of hiking paths.

It’s almost like a rainbow of leaves on just one tree. Obviously, this tree has great fashion sense.

Two people could fall in love on that bench. All the credit would have to go to that tree, though.

This looks like the best place to run this season.
