The Day of the Reptiles: Greater Gadberry, KY II - Turkle xing 2013-06-01 - Johnson Schoolhouse Road, Adair County District 3, Columbia, KY - Photo by Charles Marshburn. The turtle moseying by appears to be one to be a bit wary of, but harmless if given ground, which the photographer did, a snapping turtle. It does have a mean bite, according to CM's resident turtle expert, but he says that they're also a delicacy, breaded and fried; made into stew with potatoes, carrots, celery and onions; or made into soup. Snappers are good. Or, as this one, just left to carry on doing what snapping turtles do.

The Day of the Reptiles: Greater Gadberry, KY - Snake in grass 2013-06-01 - Johnson Schoolhouse Road, Adair County District 3, Columbia, KY - Photo by Charles Marshburn. The snake was just out making a living Saturday, June 1, 2013, in newly mown grass. Although a bit disconcerting to see, for many, many others see them as highly beneficial in holding down the population of mice, rats, and other rodents who are fighting with farmers for food stuff. Billy Joe Fudge thinks this one is a Black Racer, though it might be a Rat Snake. Click on Readmore for his explanation and very simple distinguishing behavioral differences in the two.

A time to celebrate honeysuckle 2013-06-01 - 201 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Not everyone appreciated honeysuckle - some spend a lifetime fighting it, not knowing that it thrives on abuse. For those of us who celebrate its beauty and love the flavor of the evening hours when it is in full bloom, these days are heaven. There are patches of great honeysuckle beauty everywhere - often draped on a perfect backdrop of Eastern Red Cedar, often saddling long stretches of fence rows, or here, in at the entrance of the Trabue-Russell House, where, one would expect, the plant tolerated some extensive, well-intentioned domestication. In the background is Jamestown Hill, the Dr. Oris and Jessee Aaron house, and, up the hill, the home of Dr. Ron and Gayle Rogers. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
