Fourth of July Car Show (4 of 4) 2026-07-09 - Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "Having made my way around the show a few times, and mostly happy with some possible 'pleasing to me' photos, I then resorted to trying different techniques in an effort to create some out-of-box photos; slices of (maybe glimpses) of photography that take the viewer a little longer to figure things out. The main focal point in the photo above is the flag, but the reflecting colors from the brick building and the lime green muscle car are doing their best to push it into the abstract. The green muscle car in this photo is leaving the show to be in the parade, which gave me only a split second to take this photograph."

Report it if you see a Spotted Lanternfly 2026-07-09 - Adair County, KY - Photo from Kentucky Office of the State Entomologist.

A pest that once seemed like a problem for other states is now a Kentucky problem, and local residents are being asked to keep their eyes open before it becomes an Adair County problem. Report it. Adair County residents can help most by looking closely - especially on vehicles, outdoor equipment, tree-of-heaven, fruit trees and grapevines. If the pest is found here, early reporting may give officials and landowners the best chance to slow it down. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
