Scenic Casey Co., KY: Evening skies over Dunnville, KY 2012-03-17 - Dunnville, Casey Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. There's a question we always have driving south on U.S. 127 toward Dunnville, KY: Are there special evening skies over this jewel of a Kentucky town late in the every day, or is it just imagination? The photo above was taken after turning toward Eunice, maybe past the prime picture taking time, but it did have an almost spiritual quality about it. And the spire in the center: It's symbolic of a happy circumstance we wish could happen more often. A congregation outgrows its stunningly traditional country church sanctuary. But it has the luxury of retaining the old, while expanding into the a bold new, totally modern, much larger building on the same campus. Such was the case for the Dunnville Christian Church. The spire is atop the old church, still in use - the best of both worlds: Preservation and Progress. Side by side. It can happen. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Upper lights brighten square 2012-03-17 - 100 Quadrant - Photo by Linda Waggener. It's always encouraging to see Downtown Columbia filled with cars on Friday night, as it was last night, Friday, March 17, 2012. But it's even more encouraging when upper lights are burning, as they were in the second floor offices of the law firm of Durham (H. Hunter) and Zornes (j.D.). There's a real life figure upstairs, too, not one just painted on the window. Couldn't make out whether it was one of the illustrious attorneys or not. But there was movement, meaning activity, on the Square. As for painted figures: they would also be great. Maybe of John Shelley looking out from one time FHA office over Pablo's. Maybe of the late Sam Kelsey removing all his change from his pockets before setting down in a perfectly pressed suit, tie perfectly in place, and hair which would make Mitt Mannequin green with envy; maybe of attorney Elijah Coffey or Earl Huddleston looking out at the courthouse from an aerie in the Russell Building; maybe of Dr. Randall seen through a window of over the present day Radio Shack, dental drill in hand; maybe of Mr. Ricketts, the insurance man, with his little dog, looking down from the second story window over 210 Public Square, or maybe of 10-year-old little boys looking carefully examining Comet airplane kits in the hobby shop - any of that until the upstairs are all fully occupied and enjoyed again, until owners open apartments above their businesses or businesses and professionals return. In any case, what we're seeing now down town is down right encouraging. _EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Rice with Avocado and Radish 2012-03-16 - Epicurean Kentuckian Kitchen - Photo by Pen. Avocado is the main course here, for most. It's a salad (in our Mexican sort of way) or a meal for a vegan. Either way, crisp thin radishes, white rice, and green onions go together well - and fast. The seeds are sesame, obviously, but the red condiment is Sriracha, not ketchup - but if you like ketchup on your avocados, there are no Food Police at the Epicurean Kentuckian Kitchen. It's okay. It's absolutely nobody's business but your own. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
