Birds of Kentucky: American Robins in the nest 2018-06-29 - Shelby Co., KY - Photo by Pen. A couple of robins, watching the world from the safety of the nest. Wikipedia says about young robins, "eggs hatch after 14 days, and the chicks leave the nest a further two weeks later. ... The adult male and female both are active in protecting and feeding the fledged chicks until they learn to forage on their own. The adult robin gives alarm calls and dives in a threatening manner towards creatures it considers potential predators, such as approaching cats, dogs and humans. The fledglings are able to fly short distances after leaving the nest. The wings of juvenile birds develop rapidly, and it only takes a couple of weeks for them to become proficient at flying."

'Horsing Around' In Adams County, Ohio (PART I) 2018-06-29 - Adams County, Ohio - Photo by Robert Ellis. I toyed with numerous captions for this pic since it appears the horses are acting a little goofy. However, a quick look at the pic and the viewer will quickly discern why all the "shenanigans"; it's due to the onslaught of a swarm of flies! Two of the horses were in the final stages of shaking their heads (notice their ears) and the horse on right is still in motion of the head shake. This pic was taken this past weekend while visiting a fellow photographer and friend in the Flemingsburg KY area. - ROBERT ELLIS.

Changing Face of Downtown Columbia, KY 29 Jun 2018 2018-06-29 - Southwest Corner, Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Kenneth & Doug Janes, Janes Painting, Columbia, KY, are putting their magic to work today, Friday, June 29, 2018, painting the trim and ironwork on the front of Nanwood Market's bright look. None of us who remember the building for over 75 years could imagine what so much natural lighting could do for the interior of the building. It's amazing. A question from history has arisen about one artifact. There's a sign anchor box centered above the "M-A-R" letters. Was it from the days when Herb Taylor had the men's shop there? Did it advertise a brand he carried in the haberdashery? Comments would be welcome, while this business is the center of attention. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
