Home to Green County: The great dining room at Glenview 2013-07-23 - Glenview, Geen County, KY - Photo from the archives of Bro. Bill Davenport. The dining hall, or maybe it was called a restaurant are pictured above in an old photo from around 1900, stitting down to a big meal at the Glenview Campground. The campground had many buildings, including a main meeting center or tabernacle, a hotel, the restaurant or dining hall, and cabins for guests. - Bill Davenort Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Home to Green Co., KY: The Glenview Tabernacle ca 1900 2013-07-23 - Elam Perkins Road, Glenview, Green Co., KY - Photo from the collection of Bro. Bill Davenport. This is only photo I've been able to find showing the Tabernacle at the Glenview Meeting Grounds, which stood in the Glenview community where I grew up. I would think the photo would have been taken in the early 1900's. Finding historical details has been hard. Frank Perkins had one photo in his collection, but, other than that, I've found few details except what I remember from my childhood on the site. I could only guess at the size of the tabernacle. The pillars which provide the foundation for the tabernacle are still standing on the place, and they would give fairly exact dimensions. Someday I hope to revisit and record that information. Those stone pillars have something of a Stonehenge quality. Another slightly eery comment is that many people tell me the man in the black suit in the center - the one on the left - looks a lot like Bill Davenport! - BRO. BILL DAVENPORT.

Butterflies get moisture from anything with damp surface 2013-07-22 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Joyce Coomer. Butterflies will get moisture from anything that is barely damp. Yesterday I was trying to get a good shot of a giant swallowtail that was on my butterfly weed for at least eight hours, and a small fritillary kept going from the blooms to grass underneath the butterfly weed where there were some lingering dewdrops. A butterfly waterer can be made from a shallow pan (jelly roll pan, etc.,) filled with sand and kept damp. - Joyce Coomer Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Bliss, KY, goes up in flames: But chimney still stands 2013-07-22 - Bliss, KY - Photo by Billy Wheat. After the controlled burn today, and clean up by Larry Reliford the old stone chimney at the old Lee Grissom place still stood, like a monument to the little town, once the site of Staples General Store and a United States Post Office, and was once its own voting precinct, which reached all the way into Hudson Street, in Columbia.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Signature Eastern Red Cedars 2013-07-22 - Ray Miller Road, District 6, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Regardless of their role: As backdrops for redbud and dogwood, as a trellis for trumpet vine, as punctuation for snow, as natural fencerows and windbreaks, as Christmas Trees and ornament, as great habitat for wildlife, it's difficult to imagine this land without Eastern Red Cedar. It's a job to see them so well cared for and contained as they are along Ray Miller Road in Northern Adair County. Can't wait to see them here in winter. If Adair County chose a national tree, this would be a good one. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
