According to coloronthecreek.com, "Color On The Creek is an all volunteer inspired and managed water garden located in the Carroll Creek Linear Park which runs through the heart of downtown Frederick Maryland. Created in 2012, the garden transformed an algae plagued creek into a place of real beauty. The water garden blooms from April through October and is open and free to the public."
From mid-November through the 2nd Saturday in March, Sailing Through The Winter Solstice showcases "gaff-rigged ketches, yawls, three-masted schooners, and pirate ships, moored with their sail outlines, rigging and decks lit up from dusk till dawn," as part of a fundraiser and awareness campaign.

The Montpelier Diamond
2025-01-07 - Washington, D.C. - Photo by Pen
I was excited to find something from our neck of the woods on display on a recent visit to the Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.
The placard reads, simply, "Diamond, Cabin Fork Creek, Montpelier, Kentucky." When I searched the internet for more context, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the late great JIM had already covered the subject with some thorough research, in an article posted to Columbia Magazine way back in 2011: JIM: History notes on the Montpelier Diamond.
(Also on display in the Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals is a slice from the meteorite that fell in Edmonton, KY, in 1942. Another slice of the Edmonton Meteorite is on display in the Field Museum in Chicago, IL.) Comments | Permalink

Spotted on Adair/Metcalfe County line

Darla Burris shared this special moment from her trip with Donnie to Bowling Green over the weekend. She writes, "At the Adair County / Metcalfe County line one of these Eagles was by the road the other one was in the tree. The one by the road flew back to the tree, quite the unusual sight."
