Sun spotlights little horse and memories 2019-02-02 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The horse at the left of the poinsettia was carved by Uncle Henry Wangelin for my Mom Geniece Marcum when she visited her sister Daisye in northern California. He was a gold leaf painter, an artist who could go to his shop and create something as lovely as this horse. He knew she loved horses and this was the gift he created for her to remember her trip across country from Edmonton, KY. She was delighted and kept it with her wherever she moved, and here at our house was her last stop. The horse will return to its home in Modesto, CA one of these days, to reside with his daughter Patti to be handed down to his grandson Mike Reed. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Kentucky Color: Winter Beauty 2019-02-01 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. During the cold winter days from Christmas through February, American Holly falls into my "Winter Beauty" category. Their glossy green foliage and fire engine red berries make for fool-proof identification even from a distance. American Holly is r-e-a-l-l-y slow growing. Because they are such slow growers they almost always are found in the understory of the forest. Even when transplanted into our urban landscapes like this one, they almost never exceed 50 feet in height. As you can see this one is loaded with berries. Birds will eat them when their normal food sources are scarce or unavailable. When the ground is frozen and snow covered for extended periods of time, flocks of Robins will attack Holly's in a must see act of nature to completely strip even large trees like this one in a matter of hours. Columbia has more than it's share of large Holly trees. Do you recognize this Old Friend? If so, where is it? I think it would be a great idea to catalog all the larger American Holly in Columbia, don't you?
