Kentucky Color: Nobody Home 2024-02-20 - Great Wooded South - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Billy Joe writes, "I bet this old American beech has been a home or a hideout for hundreds, if not thousands, of squirrels, raccoons, possums and more, over the last hundred or so years!

Landscape Photography: Adding the Human Element #5 2024-02-20 - Mesa Arch, Canyonlands National Park, Utah - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking. Robert writes, "I'm always on the lookout for interesting "street" type photography; even in crowded National Parks. I like the human element activity in this photo a lot...and since it's near impossible to capture beautiful landscapes without other visitors to the park, in my opinion, adding people into the composition sometimes can add more appeal, causing the casual observer to take a longer look at the photo. Pic taken October 2022." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Kentucky: A step back in time 2024-02-20 - Christian Co., KY - Photo by Pen. The front porch of the Simply Rustic store in Crofton, KY, lit by the morning sun, reminded me of country stores in Sulphur Well and Portland, among others. The vintage store is on Main Street, which doesn't really seem to be the main street anymore, with most of the commerce happening around the corner on Highway 41.
