Scenic Adair Co., KY: Acquiescing for photo 2012-03-18 - Harrods Fork Circle, Adair County, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Quite the darling of Harrods Fork Loop, Sunday afternoon, the youngster quietly made eye contact and posed for his family portrait on Saturday afternoon, March 17, 2012. Harrods Fork Loop, now a full fledged Adair County Road Department scenic byway, is a cameo visit to the past, a brief respite from the modern more hurried world of the new KY 61 south, between Sparksville and Breeding, KY. It's a full featured road, complete with dramatic views from a beautiful church and cemetery, a balance of farm land and forest views, red bud lanes, and heritage flowers from abandoned homesteads.

Closeup of Zacchaeus Tree. or Is it the Sgt. York Sycamore? 2012-03-18 - Photo by Ed Waggener. Which is it? Gunsight? or Eye of the Needle? A sermon? or Country Music theme? . The unusual formation in the sycamore tree, as seen from the Joe Lynn/Susan Lynn, Barbee and Barbee-Harvey, respectively, barbecue emporium, could be taken for a botanical gunsight or maybe the eye of a needle. Either way, it's a worthy landmark, certainly deserving of a special entry whenever the Columbia Inventory of Trees is completed.

Gunsight, or Eye of the Needle Sycamore 2012-03-18 - Photo by Ed Waggener. Daydreaming after a big BBQ lunch at Ol' Joe's B&B Que and during a lull in the story-telling, one can't fail to see the unusual formation in the sycamore tree looking out Ol' Joe's front window, across Williams Furniture to the bell tower on the Russell Heights Baptist Church. It's appropriately dead center in the middle of the photo, at 2:30 o'clock from the bell tower. Click to related photo: Closeup of Zacchaeus Tree. or Is it the Sgt. York Sycamore?
