Burkesville, KY: Red Winter Berries brighten holidays 2017-01-01 - Corner of Woodland & Third Street, Burkesville, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). Timing for human-made Christmas Decorations is always subject to opinion. Some think they go up too early or too late; some think they are removed at the wrong time, too. Nature - even human enhanced - on the other hand, always seems to have it just right. These bright red berries may be seen by birds as a buffet, but for visitors to Burkesville, KY, they are a reminder of Christmas, even after New Year's Day. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The view is from S. High Street. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
