Trees of KY: Tulip tree near Square Oak SBC, Russell Co., KY 2017-05-05 - East Old Jamestown Road, Ono, Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). For those lucky enough to get a close up of the tree, Tulip Tree blossoms are absolutely gorgeous at this time. We had to shoot it with a slightly shaky hand from the roadway near Square Oak Separate Baptist Church, one of the most absolutely beautiful church campuses is America. Our mission was two-fold: To see the "Square Oak" trunk from which the church got it's name and were probably unsuccessful. And two, to see if there might be a marker for the Ono to of the Sacred Triangle which JIM mentions frequently. Didn't find that, either. Still, we'll have to go back someday, grab a picnic in nearby Eli, KY and search. - EW/LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
