Gallery of Great Dogs: The noble Molly of The Holler 2012-03-27 - The Holler, Old Clearsprings Road, Ozark, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. Naturally, Molly is one of the most respected citizens of The Holler. Exercise and healthy living enthusiast Shamarie Claiborne snapped this portrait of the noble Molly, forgoing her more active pleasures to patiently guard Shamarie's moves as she strolled through a pasture in the meadow. The beautiful Golden Retriever, officially Dusty's Dog and now in her young adulthood, has many and varied intellectual interests. "If you could just get into her mind, you would understand her breadth of thought," Shamarie says. "She'd be saying, 'Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!'" If unthinking people-ilk fail this polite, patient request, Molly will dig a big rock, carry it to the nearest person, and hand it over with authoritative instructions to play her own National Sport of The Holler: Throw and Retrieve, Throw and Retrieve. A game at which she's a true Olympian. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

A huge Wisteria vine is in full bloom, entwined with ivy-covered trees on one of Columbia's prettiest streets, in the historic 300 block of E. Guardian on Graded Hill. The photo is taken over Julia Ann Pickett Thompson's lamp post, just at dusk. Another lavish show of the blooms bring memories of the late Jessie Aaron, whose wisteria brightens a short street between Jamestown and Guthrie Street.
