Yes...it's that time of year to experience something that is unique to the Northeast forest. (I learned that from David Attenborough:) Watching the green leaves change into a variety of colors.

 

BTW the term "fall" was likely a deviation from the Old English words "fiaell" and "feallan," both of which mean to fall from a height. And autumn came from the Latin word "autumnus," with the root of the word having connotations regarding "the passing of the year."

 

As I look outside, I see yellow, green, brown, and red colors just starting to burst. What's amazing is that this will only last a week or two and then we have to rake...

I heard the forests need to be raked...

I remember when I was a kid how people would rake the leaves, pile them at the curb and burn them. I loved the smell - like a huge neighborhood campfire every weekend for 2-3 weeks.
