Churches of Adair Co., KY: First Nazarene, Spring, 2013 2013-04-14 - 1200 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.

The foreground, with the beautiful Eastern Red Cedar, accents the scene, though there may be just two too many, five - two extra for a Trinity.

Herping: Out of hibernation - Black Rat Snake 2013-04-14 - Southeast Adair Co., KY - Photo by Heather Evans. From the pro-snake constituent, my black rat snake is out of hibernation. I don't know if it is sunning or just hanging out, but my kids spotted the snake first. I see it every year, so am assuming it is the same snake. S/he is 2 1/2-3 feet long. - Heather Evans CM NOTE: Snakes are people, too, with feelings - Surely this beautiful animal has a name, and we want to post it. Snakes-rights folks can get downright snippy about this matter. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
