Scenic Barren County, KY: On US 31-E, amid gorgeous farm land 2013-08-11 - Along US 31 E, N. of Glasgow, KY - Photo by Tommy Bailey. From Tommy Bailey: The view from U.S. 31 E. North of Glasgow, KY, are of some of the most beautiful farm land you will see anywhere and other neat things - like this pretty "Spectrum" variation on the time honored painted tire flower bed tradition of rural America, along the way. Probably more nuances and levels of interpretation here than we could learn without stopping to chat with the artist, which maybe we will, one day.

Birds of Kentucky: Count 'em. Over 3 doz. Canada Geese 2013-08-11 - Off Pelham Branch Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Monica Thomas. Monica Thomas documented this flock of Canada Geese near the intersection of Pelham Branch Road and the Adair Veterans Memorial Bypass. There appear to be over three dozen - a lot - but just a small part of the species which, on some days, occupy every square yard of the lake on the Sapp/Cundiff farm across the road from this scene. The photographer was on her way to the Farmers Market on the Square, but cellphone camera ready, and filed this report. And, by the way: In many urban areas, the birds are a growing, invasive nuisance. Comments on the issue in this area are welcome. For most of us they are still fun to watch. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
