Half dozen deer on Pelham Branch Road 2016-05-14 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Marcum Waggener, columbiamagazine.com. Half a dozen deer headed for the woods along Pelham Branch Road near Bob Jeffries/Feese Mill on a recent morning. One had already gotten to the woods before the photo could be snapped, and the one on the far right is almost invisible because it blends into the color of the landscape, but there really were six racing along in line.

Looking for Mountain Laurel, but Rhodendron does just fine 2016-05-13 - Green River Lake Visitors Center, 544 Lake Road, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). Linda had hoped to see Mountain Laurel in bloom at the Green River Lake Visitors Center, as it often is at this time of the year, but on May 9, 2016, it apparently was too early. However, the giant rhodendren was in full bloom, and on the far side, out of sight, the azalea was beautiful. Best of all, there were school kids enjoying an outing there. The music of their excited chatter testified to the value of the center for years to come. Most, but not enough area residents realize what a great resource the visitors center is. It's less than three miles from Coburg, in northern Adair County, KY. A great place to spend a Saturday, walk to the trail to the point of the peninsula, and do a Mountain Laurel search. Green River Dam is across the lake, in the center background. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
