The Beauty of Summer

A short time ago, a Cosmos flower appeared in the pollinator garden.  This morning I found that more wonders have surfaced in the mini-garden including common zinnia, sulfur cosmos, and cornflower, presenting a beautiful diversity of colors.  I was suddenly reminded of the theme song of Walt Disney's "Wonderful World of Color" which I watched every week when I was in my middle school years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiwfFNxH-rQ.  This memory was thanks to the Friends of Brightwood Park volunteers who  planted a Brightwood version of a wonderful world of color.

At 6 AM, many animals had already started their day.  I saw a duck couple dating.  On the side there were four other ducks.  The way they lined up was like a sergeant accompanying three soldiers marching, as if serving as guards for a royal couple.  

Two chipmunks appeared in front of me.  The first one looked a little sad, and the other seemed to be ready to embrace a new day.  

​It is my hope that my photos will motivate people like you to take good care of the jewel of Westfield: Brightwood Park.
