Wildflowers of Kentucky: Goldenrod at sign of squiggle 2017-07-31 - Near Adair- Russell County line - Photo by Linda Waggener, Columbia, KY . Goldenrod, Kentucky's State Flower, is near peak in some places, headed to it's prettiest, but ironweed is only hinting at taking over. When it does, it will be time to drop everything and take daytrips several times a day. Kentucky doesn't get any prettier than with the mix of gold with the purple of ironweed. Photo above, Sun 30 Jul 2017. The squiggle sign is either on White Oak Church Road (Adair County), or French Valley Road (as the Russell Countians have christened it), just east of Adair County's Acree Road). By any name, in any direction - a beautiful hike, motorcycle or horse ride, or slow drive. Very few places to spend any money, if that matters; one has to just enjoy for free. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Big: The lunker that didn't get away from Stephen Compton 2017-07-31 - Lake Cumberland, KY - Photo by Justin Reeder. The one that didn't get away. Everyone loves a good fish story and Stephen Compton is undoubtedly very good at telling a tall tale about a small fish. However on Saturday morning at Lake Cumberland, Stephen landed a lunker. He states that this is by far the largest small mouth he has ever caught. We didn't have the heart to tell him that it wasn't a small mouth, but a big old drum. In the back ground is fishing partner Glenn Stearns. - CHRIS REEDER Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
