Haying time in Adair County, KY - Sun 8 Jul 2018 2018-07-09 - Along a scenic Adair County highway, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Mowing patterns in the gently rolling farmland near the Adair Russell County line presented gentle-on-the-eye patterns Sunday afternoon, July 7, when this photo was taken. Just guessing that the deep green of the circle at right mid frame is simply avoidance of tractor-unfriendly bogginess, not for aesthetics, but both are beautifully accomplished. Incidentally, though the cropping of this photo doesn't show it, views are spectacular in this area of Magistrate Sammy Baker's District. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Wildflowers of KY - Fairy Clothesline in Russell County, KY 2018-07-09 - Along a Russell County, KY byway not too far from Coffeys Chapel church. - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Every day scientists are telling us the mechanisms for how things get from here to there. This photo was taken of black-eyed susans, at the base, but when the photo was opened, the 'fairy clothes line' vine - ID welcome - turned out to be the more interesting part of the picture, the vine arching from the ground to the barbed wire fence post. Would love to see a time lapse video showing how the plant engineered this feat. The photo, taken 12 hours out of sync with its magic time, was taken Sun 8 Jul 2018. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Robert Ellis: Yellow Garden Spider - Argiope - at Hillsboro, KY 2018-07-08 - Hillsboro, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis. Yellow Garden Spider at Hillsboro, KY - This pic was taken last July in the Hillsboro area of Kentucky. This spider was behind the house where I was staying . It took three attempts, over a two hour period, to get the sun position and lighting just right for the photo. I used the "Macro" feature on my lens at about 2 inches away from the garden spider. The spider was nestled in among some flowers that added to the dramatic colors of the photo. - Robert Ellis (c) Robert Ellis Wood Working.com.
