Sending healing Sunrise from Oak Grove Road 2018-01-06 - Eastern Adair County, KY - Photo by Jackie Montgomery. There's healing in the rays of the sun and photographer Jackie Montgomery shared hers from this one-degree, frosty Saturday morning, January 7, 2018. She must have telepathically felt my vibes of angst and frustration after having awakened to frozen water pipes. Her note was perfect, and the water pipes had just started working when I read her message, "May the beauty, peace and energy of Sun's Rise nourish, heal and protect you." I think she's got a great idea for a greeting card there, it was just the message I needed! - Linda Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Cold Birds on City Lake, Campbellsville, KY 2018-01-06 - City Lake, Lebanon Avenue, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Wayne Baxter. "A few ducks and two gulls were active Friday afternoon at a spot on Campbellsville City Lake that hasn't frozen over. The gulls had stopped for a drink but flew away when the camera got closer. I am guessing the wet spot will disappear before the weather warms up on Sunday." - WAYNE BAXTER. Paired photo Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Bizarro Milltown, Adair County, KY 2018-01-05 - Milltown Road/KY 768, District 5, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Milltown, KY, in the rear view mirror. One of the most delightful reminders of a grand past is as pleasing reflected in the rear view mirror. While much of the great old Russell Creek town is preserved - time, fires, and wind are taking a toll. We were hoping that whoever wins the Powerball lottery might want to put a few million toward preservation, or better yet, restoration. Whether that is done or not, a respectful trip through the ancient town is great therapy. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Frozen falls cascade, Adair County, KY 2018-01-05 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Adair County's waterfalls have nothing like the grandeur of waterfalls in many counties to the east, but they are pretty, just the same. This wet weather draw has a gentle series of cascades, none more than two feet, that together, almost make a Christmas card, taken on the Twelfth Day of Christmas, 5 Jan 2018. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Strawberry Snow Cream w/o snow 2018-01-05 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. If one counts time at minimum wage, this home made ice cream may be more expensive than at treat in a proper coffee shop. It's made in a Bullet blender with just a few ingredients: Frozen strawberries with banana, whole milk, vanilla extract, cayenne pepper, and stevia to taste. We added a few frozen strawberries, banana slices, and pineapple chunks for garnish and to keep the smoothie frozen. Pretty good. - LW/EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
