This wonderful old house with two front doors was worth the approximately 22 miles from Downtown Columbia to see. Every year, houses of this era tend to disappear from the countryside. We miss them when they do. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Adair County is for lovers - I: Amorous Oak Trees at fairgrounds 2017-02-05 - 413 Fairgound Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). It is amazing that no ballad has been written about them yet. These two trees - Love Oak species, we guess, bowing to more informed botanists - seemingly so intent on holding each other they are oblivious to the changes in their neighborhood, the old Adair County Fairgrounds. Memories, perhaps of looking down on two eighteen-year-olds taking a top-of-the-ferris-wheel-kiss, may have inspired the scene. Whatever, the mid days of winter are their time, center stage, with little around to detract. Photo Sat 4 Feb 2017. Paired Photo.

Scenic Casey County, KY: Lights at dusk, Dunnville, KY 2017-02-05 - US 127, Dunnville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Southbound travelers approaching Dunnville, KY, on U.S. 127 are treated to a theatre of light shows like few other places. Some are spectacularly beautiful, some, like the brief sunlighted utility cable and guardrails, are, just for a few moments, a time for mundane essentials to take center stage. In minutes, it's gone, but a new phase, just as compelling, soon takes it's place, so fast often, that yielding to an urge to try to capture a never to be repeated act because it will never be seen exactly the same again proves futile.

Scenic Casey Co., KY: Cedar lined estate 2017-02-04 - Tennessee Ridge Road, Casey Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). For those who appreciate the beauty of Eastern Red Cedar, and appreciate those who see them as special, it's worth a drive to Casey County, to see this row just a few shy of two dozen, located about three-tenths of a mile north of KY 70 on Tennessee Ridge Road. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Insects of Kentucky: Who created this barn art? Dirt Dobbers? 2017-02-04 - South Central Kentucky area - in Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell or Taylor County - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). The Sulphur Well, North Metcalfe County name for the architect & builder of this barn wall art is dirt dobber. Boys weren't afraid of them. For others, they looked like wasps and acted, most of the time, like slow motion ones. Anyone add more on these, or have childhood memories about them? Some now say they dine on spiders and are therefore good, while others say to think on that, since some of their meals are both beneficial pretty. In early Metcalfe County days, most felt it was their Christian duty to rid buildings of the nests. Comments and anecdotes welcome. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
