spring
The season between winter and summer, characterized by nature awakening and rising temperatures. A synonym for Frühling (spring).
Im Frühjahr werden die Tage wieder länger und die Bäume beginnen zu blühen.

autumn / fall
'der Herbst' and 'das Frühjahr' both refer to seasons, but they stand in clear contrast to each other. 'der Herbst' comes after summer and before winter; it gets cooler, and many leaves fall. 'das Frühjahr' comes after winter and before summer; it gets warmer, and nature begins to grow again. So the contrast lies in the direction of the season: in spring, many things begin anew; in autumn, many things move toward winter.
