Red Clover 2019-05-18 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. Wikipedia has this to say about Red Clover (Trifolium_pratense): "It is widely grown as a fodder crop, valued for its nitrogen fixation, which increases soil fertility. For these reasons, it is used as a green manure crop. Several cultivar groups have been selected for agricultural use, mostly derived from T. pratense var. sativum. It has become naturalised in many temperate areas, including the Americas and Australasia as an escape from cultivation. Due to its beauty, it is used as an ornamental plant. Red clover's flowers and leaves are edible, and can be added as garnishes to any dish. They can be ground into a flour." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Kentucky Color: Timber Fellers 2019-05-18 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. While looking at a client's timber stand, I found that "nature's timber fellers" had already been hard at work on the banks of the Green River. Fortunately for my client, the Beaver's taste leaned toward pole sized Hemlock rather than this valuable Red Oak. Our local area has so much to offer. Unfortunately, our culture has duped us into believing we must drive or fly hundreds or thousands of miles to find pleasure, rest or fun. My personal recommendation is; we should all go for a walk and find the satisfaction and joy right outside our own back door. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
