Kentucky Color: Survivalist Red Cedar Tree over Russell Creek 2012-01-30 - Russell Creek near Greenhills Road Bridge, Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Tree with craw full of grit: We've always heard about individuals of which it is said that "you could set'em on a rock and they would survive" and this beautiful Cedar proves that it is possible. With a set jaw, a glass half full attitude and a craw full of grit we can all, not only make it, but prosper. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: The KY 900 daytrip travel dilemma 2012-01-30 - Near the Village of Hardscratch, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. KY 900 connecting Cundiff, KY with the Village of Glens Fork aka Glenville, Glensfork, and more famously known worldwide as Hardscratch, is a highway for all seasons. It was especially beautifully Sunday, January 29, 2012, when this photo was taken at one of my favorite marking places, with the stream, the cedars, pines, and the white barked sycamore arching a protective limb over the the beautiful farmstead across the creek. And ahead, the road rises to meet you, headed past another favorite marking place, with its signature purple martin hanging gourd birdhouses, the legacy of one of Adair County's most wonderful men - the late Stick Harmon. It's all just a short distance from Glens Fork, with it many its picturesque and active churches, and sandwiches, gas, and a warm welcome at the community store. The dilemma: KY 900 is one of the few roads equally inviting in both directions. I let the sun dictate my choices. West in the morning, East in the afternoon. Either way, it is a day trip to recharge the spirit. - LW. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Dynamic Jamestown Street: Changeover underway 2012-01-30 - Photo by Ed Waggener. The view from the back of the lot has changed dramatically in the past two weeks. Just a few days ago there was a Long John Silver's seafood restaurant here. But now, January 30, 2012, there is nothing to impede the view across Jamestown Street past Golden Rule-Wilson Real Estate, left and Wendy's is a single blue sign standard - not much at all. In the background, beyond Tutt Street, can be seen the Columbia/Adair Utility Districts Bomar Heights onion water tower. An as yet unofficially announced bank facility is reported to the planned replacement for the Long John Silvers. As the economy appears to be rebounding, Jamestown Hill is a big center of action, in part because it is walking distance of Lindsey Wilson. Major developments are said to be coming at the intersection of Jamestown Street and Russell Road, and businessman Mike Stephens has been continuously reshaping Office Park, bounded roughly by Jamestown Street, Hurt Street, and Heskamp Street. The CAT on the left is clear evidence that Pyles Excavating Company, has been on the scene. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
