the leaves fall off/down
It's lovely to see the leaves change colors in the fall. It's always sad, however, when winter comes and the leaves fall off/down.
I presume both off and down fit into the above wording, but are there slight differences between them semantically? Thanks.

Hi,
It's lovely to see the leaves change colors in the fall. It's always sad, however, when winter comes and the leaves fall off/down.
Where I live, in Canada, the Autumn is a big deal, an occasion of great beauty. So, Canadians are experts in this matter.

Do you have those red sugar maple leaves, Clive? I miss those. I wouldn't even mind raking them!

Thanks, Clive and GG.
I wouldn't mind raking those pretty leaves for nothing, either. A thing of beauty is a joy forever--ring a bell?
