KY Color: Trinity of Northern Catalpa at Lindsey Wilson College 2018-06-10 - In front of Begley Chapel, 302 Lindsey Wilson Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, President, Homeplace on Green River. "Growing between sidewalk and curb on Lindsey Wilson Street is a trinity of Northern catalpa. Northern catalpa has a harder wood, straighter trunk and because it grows so fast, was planted all over to be utilized as railroad ties and fence posts. It blooms two to three weeks earlier than Southern catalpa but is no less beautiful or fragrant." - BILLY JOE FUDGE Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

KY Color: Southern Catalpa at Lindsey Wilson College 2018-06-10 - Fairground Street Lawn, Dr. Robert & Carol Goodin building, Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, President, Homeplace on Green River. THE SOUTH: ". . . the Ol' Catalpa standing watch over Fairgrounds Street on Lindsey Wilson's main campus. Since, I had not taken the opportunity to be enveloped by the clouds of the sweetest fragrance produced in the plant kingdom, I decided to do so on Friday. Wow! If you have not done so, load up the kids and the dog and cat, park in the parking lot across from Joe Pyles Brick Business, walk across the lawn, get downwind of the tree and experience it before a thunderstorm scrubs it from the atmosphere and you have to wait until next spring to breathe it in. You will not be disappointed!" - BILLY JOE FUDGE Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

1st Mowing Time - on CR 1486 - Adair County, KY 7 Jun 2018 2018-06-10 - Ray Coffey Road, CR 1486 - Off Milltown Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The entrance to Ray Coffey Road/CR 1486, is like the entrance to a secret garden. This hayfield from the first mowing of the season was redolent with the smell of the newly mowed hay, rivaling that of honeysuckle and locust blossoms. Then entrance to the County Maintained road leads to other byways, all of which dead end. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Birds of KY: Encore photo of Robin of City Hall singing encore 2018-06-09 - Reed Street side of City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. You've probably stayed awake a many a night wondering how many times a day a robin sings its many songs. I know I have. But my mind is at ease knowing that more scientific folks are already working on it. Probably you'll be surprised at the number of performances they do each day. Take a guess, then take a look at this sight: www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/robin/VocalizationSongStudy.html. Hope someone will collect data on Robin of City Hall - may it could get us into the World Record Book of Guinnesses, when the Jaycee Chili Bowl couldn't. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
