Still in the midst of the best ever Redbud season 2019-04-17 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. This is the best Redbud season I've ever seen. I think 2019 will be remembered as one for the record books. Even though the season is heading past, I couldn't resist taking this picture at the back of the Chamber of Commerce building in the brilliant afternoon sun. Aromas of pool room hamburgers and Mexican food wafted in the air as I walked closer to the Square. I looked at all the little pinwheels around the Courthouse lawn signifying abused children and thought again about how our actions, our individual beliefs, our mottos need to include, "First, do no harm." - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
