Birds of Kentucky: Little brown bird looks like a leaf 2019-01-31 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The little brown bird in the center of the picture looked much like the brown leaves on the grown until it fluttered its wings. I'm studying Ed's handy Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America and will post its official bird ID when I can be sure. Readers who know for sure are invited to enlighten me. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Mystery photo from Old Knifley collection 2019-01-31 - Knifley, northern Adair County, KY - Photo from Mitzi Bault, CM staff. Mitzi writes, "I found this picture and have looked and looked but can find nothing else to match this setting that is part of the Old Knifley collection from my Aunt Stella. It seems like it might be from around late 1800s or early 1900s. Help will be appreciated if anyone has any information on the location and possible event!"

A warming stone on this frigid end of January 2019 2019-01-31 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. In the absence of sunshine at this early hour of Thursday morning, January 31, 2019 - my late Dad's birthday - I'm warmed by a keepsake from my niece Beth Ann Cravens. She collects and smoothes the stones and then decides what art should be painted on it. Her gift is my bright spot this morning. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
