Wildflowers of KY: Mayapple blosssom 2017-04-15 - Jr. Burton Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). For reasons known but to themselves and botanists, it seems, Mayapple plants seem to hide their blooms under their fairy umbrella leaves. Fortunately, from the road bed on Jr. Burton Road, the angle is perfect to photograph them without a lot of trouble.

Fishing for trout from a chair: Carl Carey freely shares expertise 2017-04-15 - Bank Street, Burkesville, Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). As a gazillion - approximately - gnats migrate up river in an unending flight, and as the rising Cumberland River crept higher and higher on the Boat Ramp, Carl Carey took a moment to share more about his fishing experiences. The gnats are a nuisance, and mosquitoes about. But he said in all his years fishing at the boat ramp, he's never seen a snake there, much less a dangerous one. The conversation was cut short at this point, a bit, as another fisherman was waiting for the photographer to move so he could launch his boat. - LW/EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Cumberland Co., KY: Mighty Cumberland River 2017-04-15 - Bank Street, Burkesville, Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Near Carl Carey's Fishing Place: Spring flowers drape the bank of Bank Street and the mighty Cumberland River seen through the gumbo/slingshot tree trunk, and even from this diminishing perspective, one can see that, as Maxey Oakes said, "The Cumberland River is a big river." Sorry, Ray Hutchison, Jimmy Firquin, Billy Ballou, and even the late Dr. Billy K. Neat, you erred in disputing Mr. Oakes' assessment. It is a big river. And sorry, Flower People, the foreground focus may not be good enough to ID, but we'd like to know. - EW.
