Scenic Taylor Co., KY: Low tide before Spring Rains 2012-04-15 - Taylor Co., KY - Photo By Shamarie Claiborne. While out and about yesterday we stopped by the boat ramp before the dam to check the water out. As you can see the Spring Tide at Green River Lake is what some describe as low, but really it is just the right level for the normal incoming spring rains. Now the big question is where is the spring rain? - Shamarie Claiborne Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Snowball Viburnum: Utility pole cover 2012-04-14 - Gaston Avenue, Columbia, KY - Photo by E. Smith Waggener. This Snowball Viburnum bush on Gaston Avenue hides a utility pole almost completely. It's located just a few yards from the Gaston Avenue Parking lots for Lindsey Wilson Sports Park. Though beautiful, CM has not tracked its winterology reliability as we have the ones on the Reed Street Side of City Hall. Those have never failed, in years of tracking, to precisely mark the end of winter weather. That's when all their blooms have gone away. Which they do, thawing away so to speak, even though its blooms are often called the snowballs which never melt. And its name, Viburnum, makes a dandy substitute for a real cuss word. -Ed Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
