500 Public Square: Home address of lots of folks 2013-06-18 - Historic Adair Co. Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Especially Pigeon Folk. Two dozen pigeons sit on the patio they still enjoy a few weeks after they were evicted from their belfry suite in the clocktower over housekeeping issues. It still a debated issue as to whether or not the birds are a plus or a minus, even outside, but so far extreme measures, such as were used in the 1950s, are not being used today. Back then, local marksmen were recruited to shoot the birds out of the air. After a long period of one sided combat, the birds retreated to Miss Mary Lucy Lowe's barn on Lowe's Lane, back when it was in the country, back before it became a state highway, back before the barn was razed to make room for new housing. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Taylor Co., KY: Main Street in color after rain 2013-06-18 - Main Street, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith. I like the way the rain brought out the color in the evening photo on Main Street in Campbellsville, KY, and I especially appreciate the willingness to leave the wonderful old Ballard's OBELISK FLOUR/W.R. KNIFLEY GROCERY painted sign on the side of the building. - Larry Smith, Operations Manager, Shoreline Communications, in Campbellsville broadcasting at the Big Dawg, 99.9 FM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Up Ky 61, and back in time 2013-06-18 - Clay Ridge, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. (Ad) It just looks like a modern day place from long ago, a place to stop and sit a spell, visit, and enjoy good food, and good company - a place to have a picnic inside or out on the porch or shady lawn. And it is. You never know what kind of entertainment it will offer. Sometimes it's a neighboring, bearing garden truck, to make the salads and home cooked vegetables better - and to do a neighborly thing to keep a community institution going. Sometimes it's a Ph.D with a knack for teaching, enthralling Clay Ridge kids with riddles and math and integers and puzzles about going to St. Ives. It's the hometown of famous people - from many fields: business, military service, education, politics and writing. Today's picnic special: $1.99 Chili Dogs. Everyday, the Clay Ridge basic, Pinto Beans & Cornbread, just $1.99. And, every breakfasts anytime, plate lunches, and fresh cut salads at prices you might pay for coffee elsewhere. It's all at The Store in the Village of Clay Ridge, (Adair County), 7110 Greensburg Road, Columbia, KY. Sheila Ruczienski, owner/manager. Phone 270-385-9157. Hours: 6am-2pmCT/7am-3pmET, 7 days a week. All major credit cards. Smokers & Non Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Birds of KY: One hour old killdeer 2013-06-18 - Egypt, District 6, Adair Co., KY - Photo by George Rice. The beautiful baby is less than one hour old. It is obvious that little killdeers are hatched fully clothes and running. When I returned to the scene the next time there were three little birds running and mother and father birds were doing their rituals of showing me how crippled they were to lure me away from their chicks. - George Rice Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
