Autumn and Fall
Fall is just a boring way to describe with the leaves do...it's such a narrow view of the world, from this side of the pond. Autumn is more ethereal - it can mean so many different things. A quick google search shows that it comes from the Latin "autumnus" but in the 16th century, the English name was Harvest. Now that is a season I can embrace after apple picking last wekend.
Fall is mostly a different noun or verb..."..to take a fall", "don't fall down", "watch the Falls". But its still nice for describing a season in quick fashion
