Spooky Talking Tree & Scary Snaky Not-Animal in the Knot Hole 2012-04-11 - Fortune Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. I heard an animal in the fencerow today. It was making a dreadful noise. It sounded like it might be in pain, maybe trapped. I followed the sound to see the trees moving; it occurred to me that it was just the sound of limbs rubbing together. But when when I looked into a big knothole, it occurred to me that maybe it was maybe a sound made by the Not Animal in the Knot Hole looking back at me. That was my final conclusion. Some people can only be convinced by 8 x 10s with circles and arrows for documentation. When the pictures came up on the screen, it looked very clear to me, that the Not-Animal was a woodrified snake creature. Misrus Marcum saw no such thing. "It is," she said, "a big fish. I see it's big mouth coming toward us," This was not the right Rorschach interpretation. I asked a third party, and she said, "Yes, I see an animal," she said. "It's a wolf with it's ears laid back." Me, I saw a miniature Burmese Ball Python invader from the Everglades, the very reason I don't get south of Cookeville, Tennessee any more. If you are as sane and rational as I am, and see a woodrified miniature alligator-devouring Burmese Ball Python Not-Animal in the Knot Hole let me know. -ED Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Paulownia 2012-04-11 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Paulownia trees are blooming everywhere now, to the great pleasure of folks who love this lavender color best of all. In our family, the tree was the favorite of Addie Turner Leftwich, who often repeated the story of a trip to Glasgow from Bellview in Metcalfe County, along the windingest road ever engineered - old KY 80 - when Paulownias were at their peak. Billy Joe Fudge says the trees at the front door of Sparksville School are among his favorites, maybe surpassed only by the Green River Hill Paulownias on the way to Campbellsville. "My father in law told me that the locusts blossoms from Betty's OK restaurant to Campbellsville were so thick and beautiful this year that it felt like one was driving through a snow tunnel," Billy Joe said, "and he said it was one of the most beautiful drives in the world," Billy Joe said, "and I reminded him that it got even prettier than the locusts when the Paulownias are in bloom." One of my favorite Kentucky Color columns is the one on the these imports from Asia, who have found Kentucky quite to their liking. To access that essay, click to Kentucky Color: Royal Paulownia Tree. There are also many other Paulownia photos to be found on the site. I wonder where I was when I took this photo? If anyone can help, let me know. No big deal, just like to remember where I was today. Looks like a farm setting. - ED Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

New red light on Bull Run Road 2012-04-11 - Photo by Ed Waggener. If it's not one thing it's another. But finally there's a red light on Bull Run Road, albeit a temporary one at the KY 206 junction, while Russell Creek Bridge undergoes repairs and traffic is reduced to one lane each way. Traffic lights on Liberty Roads are also installed. The situation will prevail until maybe early June, 2012. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
