PORT PERRY STAR -- Tues. October 2 FALL: The magical season It's fall. You can feel it in the air, and see it in the vivid colours and transformation of plants throughout the countryside. It seems like a long time ago that we sweltered in the hot, humid heat of summer, but it has been a mere four weeks. Now the morning air takes on a crispness and the days begin to get shorter as we make our way through autumn on our way to winter. The Star has captured the beauty of fall in photos this past week on a trip up and down some of the back-roads of Scugog Township.
