The beautiful nature scenes, including landscapes, wildlife, and plants, are captured in stunning photographs in May of 2026 in the small city of Milford. The photos show all the small things in nature that we glance over during our everyday lives. Nature is a beautiful thing; wherever you are, nature is always present, in some circumstances more than others. A lot of the time, you don’t even take in what you’re seeing, hearing, and smelling when in nature, but it’s always there. The deeper you explore or focus on nature, the more you hear, see, and smell.

Hi, my name is Ben Dunnigan, and I’m a senior at Foran High School. This is my second year taking journalism. I picked journalism because I like writing articles and learning new things about people in our school. At Foran, I am involved in Key Club, and I enjoy watching and playing sports. Another thing about myself is that I have a boxer named Diggs.
