We're new to the Pacific Northwest and I love how "outdoorsy" everyone is. There's always something fun going on outside, rain or shine. We've been hiking, climbing, biking, playing, and having all sorts of fun. When we're out and about, I try to pack healthy snacks for my kids that give them energy and protein. We've been fans (addicts) of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters ever since we first tried them and thanks to MyBlogSpark, you can win your own Gift Pack!

I love the colors of the changing leaves in fall.
I am a big fan of biochemistry... but I don't think that is what you mean. hmmm... I like to pick fresh fruit in the cool of the afternoon. And I love to walk through a damp wood and smell the decomposition going on under my feet.
I love going birding especially in the fall.

It is the fall here in Connecticut and I LOVE this time of year for picnics and hikes!
I love the smell of the Fall air, the beautiful colors, and just every single thing about FALL! My favorite season. Thanks for the chance to win. cdziuba@aol.com

I also love the smell of fall, mostly the smell of fall foods during the fall.
I love camping in the early summer when it's not too hot.
I love the clean feeling of the air when we are camping, especially in the Spring and Fall!
I love the smell. In fact we are going camping next week and I can't wait to smell the crisp night air, look at the stars and enjoy time with my family.
I love going on walks in the cool fall air and looking at leaves. Love, love, love the changing colors of this time of year!
We live on a 4 acre piece of property surrounded by another 8 acres of nature preserve property and then lots of woods past that. I love the peacefulness and the wildlife. My kids have loved growing up here because they love exploring the woods, discovering "caves" and streams and just being boys.
Here in Arizona we only have 2 seasons. In the winter it is so nice here. Perfect for hiking. But I am jealous of all of you with changing leaves!
How exciting!! I just tried those granola nut clusters recently and they are certainly DELICIOUS!!! I love Nature Valley though.. I've been eating their granola bars for years.
As far as nature goes.. I really love everything about it except for the creepy crawlers, hee hee. I haaaate bugs but I do like butterflies, birds, larger animals, etc. I LOVE trees and I love flowers!! You wont find me at a camping ground anywhere, but you WILL find me outside on a beautiful day, enjoying the cool breeze and the beautiful trees!
Walking just after a rainstorm. I love the smells.
Love the smells of nature
i love the clean smell of air.. it's just so refreshing and relaxing
I love fall in MN when the leaves change and the weather gets crips and everyone grills and you can smell the loveliness everywhere around you and there are no BUGS anymore!!!
i love the sounds!
I love Fall and Spring. The leaves are changing and the flowers come out.
I like the sound of birds and the nature hikes we go on we see alot of different animals! Wish more people could enjoy nature!

I love being outside,enjoying the fresh air,smelling the flowers,growing my own food,taking hikes,watching the weather and seasons change.
I live in the mountains and we have awesome leaf colors in the Fall.Reds,oranges,golds,browns mixed with the greens = WONDERFUL.
I like the quietness,no sound usually.
I love to go walking in the woods, hunting for streams and let the kids walk barefoot in the water.

Something I love about nature... This is going to be hard this year because I was just diagnosed with being allergic to just about everything that is outdoors (gratefully no food allergies). I would have to say that I love the days when you can feel the seasons change from hot to warm, warm to cool, cool to cold and from cold to warm again. There is something about that feel that means change is in the air and that change can only be good. Right now we just stepped into the rainy season and I love listening to the rain splatter on the sidewalk, drip off of the branches and even the sound of rain gushing through the drainpipes.
I love the smell of fresh air, especially after it rains. I also love the sound of fall leaves crunching under my feet. cporter2@gmail.com
I love everything about nature in the fall... the gorgeous colors of the leaves... the crispness of the air... and the industriousness of all the little creatures laying in a supply of food for the winter. I also love exploring the biodiversity of the creek next to our house with my five year old son. We like to catch and release - for example crayfish.
I love the fact that my kids are so enthustiastic about fall. The weather is cooler and we finally get to spend more time outdoors....they are so excited about everything we see on walks...birds, changing leaves, deer....it's all extra special for them!
I just love the smell of freshly mowed grass!
Thank you for the giveaway :)

I love the peace and serenity that always comes with nature. It's nice to take a break from the noise of such a face-paced life, and just remember our Creator and what's really important in life.

We just moved up to the Pacific Northwest and what I love most are the TREES! They are everywhere and just huge. I love going on adventure walks with my kids through the dense, lush forest behind our house.
I live in the Outer Banks of NC. I love watching the tides change daily.
I love taking walks in the fall when the air is crisp and leaves are changing colors.
We love the outdoors... especially hiking, camping and fishing! This is an awesome giveaway!
I love the smell of fresh, clean, woodsy air. Hiking in the forest, the mountains, and the desert all have their own musk and I love them all!
I love the changing seasons. I love living in a place where we get a good dose of every season.
Clouds, I just think they are neat.
I love to run early in the morning and watch the sun rise and feel the power in my body from running. You don't get that on the treadmill; it totally has to be outside. And I love the light quality early in the morning, before the sun is too high. The colors are gorgeous.
I grew up in the mountains, and so nature was all around me,and even though I enjoy visiting the big city, I remain a rural girl at heart. This topic depresses me because I detest where I live now, but we are unable to move because of financial considerations. The nature here is awful: tons of bugs, humidity, and nothing that smells good. Sorry, I guess I got off topic...

What isn't to love about nature. It's all great! I too love the changing of the seasons. It's so great and feels so "new" each season.

I love it when it smells fresh, but not always the case with nature, but love hiking and walking and seeing the art and beauty in the trees and branches through shapes and colors
The thing I like best about the outdoors is that my kids can run around and be wild and free when they are outside. I love watching them learn about nature first hand. I also love the way it smells after it rains.
I love sitting in the shade of the trees on a warm sunny day.
I live in Montana and we are so lucky that we get ALL of mother natures seasons! I love fall when the leaves start to change.
I love sound of the ocean.
Did you know that without bees, 95% of the foods we eat would disappear? That is why I am very careful-I only use organic pesticides in our garden.writer61@yahoo.com
I love camping. Love it! We got a camper - and it's really for our 2 dogs who also love camping.

My family and I love camping and go as often as we can. My favorite part is smelly the fresh mountain air! and being able to see all the beautiful stars
I love a freshly rainwashed sky. Being outside just after a good rain is one of the most peaceful places to be.
I like setting out food for the birds and squirrels and watching them when they come to eat. They can be so funny!
I love snow when it first falls and looks like a soft blanket.
I love when the temperature gets cooler---and I love pears --we get pears in the fall-I love the farmers market- during fall when it's nice and cool.

What I love most about nature is that no matter where you go in the world or country it is always different. Some places are green while others are brown, orange or white. Nature is so varied and diverse so there is always something to be discovered.

I love the beauty of nature. I love how if you look closely you can see so many things that are just amazing. For example this garden spider keeps building a web in our walkway.

I love the smell just before it rains.
I live in an area with dramatic weather changes. While I don't always likedriving in heavy snow,etc., I do appreciate the change in seasons. Last week I got to enjoy the leaves starting tochange in the Adirondacks.
I love the beauty and tranquility that nature represents. The wind whistling through the trees, raindrops pattering on a window, crisp cool fall weather, the peaceful ambiance of being on the beach and listening to the waves ebb in and out, etc. Nature takes you from the worldly part of the world to a place like no other.
I love laying in the snow and looking up at the stars in the winter. I've done it since I was a little kid and it's hands down the most calming, beautiful thing ever
I love that no two thing are exactly the same, leaves, flowers, clouds, they are all differeb=nt!

I love the free feeling of no boundaries and just being with nature.
Peaceful calm and quietness
I love the simplicity of nature, it just is without any input from you, trees grow, leaves fall, flowers bloom. All you have to do is enjoy.
I love the changing weather. Is only it would make up it's mind. 100 degrees one day and 77 the next then back to 98, just messes with the mind. I am ready for Fall.
And I love Nature Valley Nut Cluster, and granola bars. We take them camping with us. If fact they are on our camping list for our Oct 4th trip to El Capitan with our 4 kids.
I love the peacefulness that comes with being in the middle of nowhere. Being deep in the woods and not hearing all the sounds of civilization is just the best.

I love finding caterpillars in my garden, and trying to identify what type of butterfly or moth it will become.
I love the fall colors, and the smell when the leaves are falling. I love to walk through the woods near my house. It's very quiet and peaceful.

I love nature in general but my favorite thing about nature is when those leaves cover the ground in the fall making a gorgeous multi-colored carpet and I get to take my 7 1/2yr old black lab out to frolic in them and get silly!
That I can always find something beautiful in nature.
My favorite thing in nature is when late night showers come through and you can fall asleep with your curtain blowing in the wind listening to the sound of the rain.

I like how it makes me feel, it calms me to go on a walk -especially in the fall, with the smell of autumn in the air, a slight chill - which I prefer to the hot sun, the trees giving me a colorful show. I love how nature makes me feel calm, centered and present.

There are so many things to like about nature, but if I must pick one, it would be the thunder/lightning storm I saw on the prairies back home while driving. An awesome display of colors, lights and sounds! I saw lighting formations(not sure if that's the right term?) I have never seen before or since. Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!
