Ninth Place: Nature

Emily Cole, Editor

October 24, 2025

As much as I love seeing nature bloom in the spring, nothing beats watching it turn orange and brown. Driving to school and watching trees change colors day to day and seeing pinecones and acorns on the ground are my favorite signs that fall is in the air. I also love the dark mornings and evenings – getting up in the morning is a little less strenuous knowing that I won’t be blinded when I pull back the curtains. Nature is a beautiful thing, and it’s nice to appreciate it in all its forms, but something about the fall makes it extra appealing.

Ruba Elabiad, Art Editor

Ruba Elabiad is a junior who is starting her second year at Tatler, but her first year as its art editor. She started out as a writer but discovered a talent for photography. She prefers photography over drawing and finds it fun to capture natural, candid photos of her subjects. She first heard about Tatler from Ms. Poag, who recommended it to her. Along with Tatler, she does drama, working on the crew rather than acting. She is the youngest of her siblings, with an older sister and brother. She also has two cats, Luna and Simba. A few fun facts about Ruba are that, as talented as she is, she can’t whistle, nor can she roll her r’s.
