Wildflowers of KY - Today's Special - Queen Ann's Lace & _____ 2018-06-26 - South Central Kentucky byway - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The accent flower above is cornflower with emphases of graying fence post and barbed wire. There are those who admire Queen Ann's lace all by its lonesome, who see a mass of the of even-topped umbels as a thing of great beauty. But many, especially those who love the un-neat, (Joyce Coomer's word) - like the wild carrot plant as a companion plant. Cornflower is a favorite. QAL and Orange Milkweed is exquisite. And QAL and Orange Milkweed and a butterfly or tiny bird - are a trinity. Divine. - EW. (Linda concurs) Paired photo. See: Wildflowers of KY - Today's Special II - QAL & Visitor Combo.

Birds of Kentucky: How many House Sparrows? 2018-06-25 - Shelbyville, KY - Photo by Pen. A flutter of sparrows touched down in the backyard. They were moving quickly, and there were too many to fit in a single camera shot, although we think we spotted at least 9 in this frame alone. Wikipedia has this to say about Passer domesticus: "Because of its numbers, ubiquity, and association with human settlements, the house sparrow is culturally prominent. It is extensively, and usually unsuccessfully, persecuted as an agricultural pest. It has also often been kept as a pet, as well as being a food item and a symbol of lust, sexual potency, commonness, and vulgarity." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
