The Flags of America:
This photo shows the flags of America basking in the sun on a Sunday morning. The flags talk to each other and say, “we have a lot in common, we both have brothers and sisters, we both have the same favorite book (the Constitution), and our very first hero was Abraham Lincoln. We see each other day and night, dark or bright - we are so beautiful every year. Even if we have bad grandparents that cause a lot of trouble, we overcame these challenges because we are America!”

The Purple Flowers:
Small, purple, sun-shaped with dozens of tiny pollinated pedals. Its tiny, hairy, pollen-filled body smells of lavender and resembles a tarantula’s abdomen.

Saugatuck Swan:
On August 14th, a group of young photographers spotted two swans floating in the Saugatuck River. Most of the time spent at the river, ducks were photographed, so the swans were a wonderful surprise. Many citizens have noticed swans and other wildlife in the river. In an interview, a Westport resident said, “I always see swans, geese, ducks, and Horseshoe crabs.” These animals are mainly visible at low tide. However, it is important to notice that these animals are not all friendly. The same Westport resident informed us, “I heard that the swans and geese can peck you.” So, make sure not to irritate these wonderful creatures. Most people describe swans as “graceful and elegant.” So, fellow Westporters, I think we can agree that it is very good luck that we can see all of these beautiful creatures on a daily basis. Please remember not to bother the local wildlife, including deer and rabbits. For readers who are interested in seeing these animals more, lots of them swim next to the Saugatuck River around 5:00 pm.
