My Patriot Veteran 2018-11-07 - Russell Co., KY - Photo by Richard Robertson. Richard writes, "Matthew, my 3rd-great-grandfather, provided resistance against Mother England's oppressive policy: Taxation without Representation! Because of his, and many others, service in George Washington's Continental Army, we secured the right to choose our Representatives. We have maintained that right for nearly 250 years, and last exercised it yesterday in our National elections! Hurrah, for our veterans and the perseverance of our great Nation!" Taken at the Humble community cemetery, formerly the Matthew Robertson Farm, in Russell Co. KY, on election day Nov. 6 2018. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Birds of Kentucky: Blackbirds swarm Greater Bliss 2018-11-07 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Vicky Pike. Miss Vicky writes, "The last few days the area around New Columbia Greater Bliss area has been over run with nasty, noisy black birds. They gather in the trees and power lines at the Pampered Angus Ranch and leave their droppings all over everything they fly over, including my girls and boys as well. They arrive in late afternoon just before dusk. They need to find a new roost. I'm not appreciating them." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
